I have hypothyroid..Can i consume moringa tea and fish collagen supplement?

Female | 41

Hypothyroidism is when your thyroid gland doe­sn't produce enough hormones. Common signs are­ tiredness, weight gain, and fe­eling cold. Both moringa tea and fish collagen supple­ments are typically safe. Howe­ver, consult with your healthcare provide­r to ensure they don't inte­rfere with your thyroid medication. Managing your condition involve­s a balanced diet, taking medication as pre­scribed, and regular check-ups.

im 23. im a female. i took 1mg ozempic as a first dose and im not a diabetic, just for weight loss. since then ive been experiencing side effects like nausea, vomitted twice, heaviness in my stomach area, palpitations, slight difficulty breathing.

Female | 23

You might have an unwanted health reaction after consuming Ozempic despite not being diabetic. The medication can cause nausea, vomiting, the feeling of heaviness in the stomach, palpitations, and shortness of breath because of its impact on your body. Abstain from it instantly and visit a doctor. Your health will be restored as soon as the medicine clears your system.

I am 24 years old I have thyroid symptoms

Female | 24

This is a gland in the neck that can cause tiredness, weight gain, and loss, or feelings of anxiety and depression. When too much or too little hormone is produced by this organ these symptoms may arise. To confirm the diagnosis, go for some blood tests at the doctor’s office. If there is an issue, don’t worry – there are treatments available that will help to balance the levels of thyroid hormones within your body.

It is worth mentioning other manifestations like tiredness, weakness, and changes in the nourishing of the body. It is important to contact the health care provider for further investigation and proper examination.

Hi, I know there is a very slim chance that you will respond. But can I ask you a question; I have hasimotos (diagnosed 7 years ago). I function the best when my tsh level is around 0.8. I had a bloodtest 7 weeks ago and out of nowhere my tsh level was 2.9, I was also very tired etc. So my doctor and i decided to up my medication from 100mcg to 112 mcg. however the last 4 weeks ive been gaining weight like crazy. Atleast 3,5 kg.I also have a lot of energy, unstoppable hunger and feel very aggatated. I did another blood test and my tsh level is now 0,25.

Female | 19

Your body has probably become alerted to the changes in the medicine you're consuming, as evidenced by the switch of drugs. A sudden drop in your TSH may cause you to have symptoms such as a feeling that your energy has escalated, increased appetites, and weight gain. To obtain the respective proper medication regimen, you should talk with your doctor.

I am a 26 year old. Following are my thyroid results TSH- 1.4252 microlU/mL T3(total)- 1.47 ng/ul T4(total)- 121.60 nmol/l Are the results normal? Also, I am developing white hair in scalp and beard

Male | 26

A normal TSH leve­l is good for thyroid health, like yours. Likewise­, normal T3 and T4 levels indicate e­verything's fine. White hair on your scalp and be­ard can result from genetics, stre­ss, or nutritional deficiencies. To addre­ss it, try maintaining a balanced diet, managing stress e­ffectively, and using gentle­ hair care products.

Hello Doctor... I am Iman , 19 years old girl who is a diabetic patient for almost 11 years....Doctor.. i am on my insulin who takes regular dose of 22 and 21 in the morning and at evening ... Few weeks later i had started experiencing nocturnal diabetes ... The thing i am unable to wake up in the morning ... My roommates used to wake me up by use of honey and sugary items.. this thing scares me alot ...please help me out ...Thank you

Female | 19

Night hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar in the­ evening, is complex. Be­ing unable to wake up due to this is alarming. It happe­ns when your sugar dips during sleep. You might ne­ed to alter your insulin doses or timing unde­r medical supervision. Complex carbs and prote­in at bedtime can assist in maintaining steady le­vels. Monitor your readings carefully. Discuss any worrie­s with your doctor.

Sorry for my english I am 23 years old. For 7 years, I have been suffering from weakness in the bones of the face and lower jaw constantly from the slightest pressure on them. I had vitamin D test and my value is 5.5 very low, and my calcium is 9.7. The doctor told me to take vitamin D 10,000 IU per day for 3 months. Should I eat a lot of foods that contain calcium or not, and how much calcium per day for the 10,000 iu? Because when I take vitamin D supplements, I feel an itching sensation in the lower jaw, as if it is weakening more. The question is Should I increase calcium foods or make it less because i feel it's getting more weak, or what should I do to avoid bone erosion? And i'm afraid if calcium will be more than normal when i eat more calcium food because it's 9.7 now thanks.

Female | 23

Judging from what you said, you are having a problem with low vitamin D levels, which can result in the weakening of the bones. Taking 10,000 IU per day as your doctor suggested is good, but you should also eat foods that are rich in calcium. Do not forget to take around 1,000 to 1,200 mg of calcium daily. Consider adding milk, yogurt, cheese, and leafy greens to your diet. Talk to your doctor if you feel more weakness in your jaw or experience itching to adjust your supplements.

I got stuck in decreasing calories and now i don't know how much can i start to eat to avoid refeeding syndrome. I am 20-years old male 185cm/43kg

Male | 20

This is when you eat too few calories for a long period, and suddenly eat a lot; it can be dangerous. Some symptoms include heart problems, difficulty breathing, and weakness. Be sure to start slowly with food again and increase your calorie intake gradually over days or even weeks. Getting checked out by medical professionals would help too so that there won’t be any complications.

75years of age ,from few days feeling too much hot in body ,can't eat anything,if I eat feel like my head wl burst and BP high n low both ,feeling too much restlessness

Male | 75

These might be symptoms of many things such as an infection or not drinking enough fluid. However, there are some things which could help in the meantime: make sure that you drink plenty of water, and get some rest. But if this goes on much longer without any improvement then I would advise seeking medical attention. They can give you proper treatment for whatever is causing all these different problems.

I have high sugar and have low sodium

Male | 65

People should be careful of consuming too much sugar and too little sodium as that can cause them to feel tired, unable to think properly, and generally weak. The sugar levels could rise due to diabetes while the sodium might be reduced through sweating excessively or taking some specific medication. To manage high sugar, one must eat healthily in addition to taking the drugs that have been prescribed for them. A person with low sodium can increase the amount of salt that they take or use drugs which should be administered under strict medical supervision.

Kya blood test karaanae sae harmone imbalance kai baare mai pata chal jayegi??

Female | 21

Blood tests can help detect hormone imbalances. Hormones are used by our body to communicate, and when they are out of balance, problems can occur. Common signs of a hormone imbalance include feeling tired, weight changes, and mood swings. Causes of imbalance can be stress, poor sleep, or health conditions. Treatment depends on which hormone is affected and may include lifestyle changes, medications, or hormone therapy.

My vitamin b12 level is 61 what should I do my doctor has suggest injection but I don't want to take injection then he suggest flower od cap can I get my b12 requirements fullfill form this tablet

Female | 16

A large amount of B12 could induce numerous health problems such as exhaustion, susceptibility, and a tingling sensation in the hands and feet. Lack of B12 in your food and drink is the main cause. Consuming a B12 supplement such as a flower od cap can increase your levels, HOWEVER, the injections are more reliable and quicker. One good way to go about this is to have regular doctor visits so one can get enough B12 for the proper functioning of their body.

Am diabetic since 15 years. BP normal as am taking medication. I take insulin Actrapid 100 u 14-3-10 and toujeo 28-0-0 along with Sitagliptin OD 100. fp sugar 140-160 ,PP 210-220. I feel dizziness in evening between 6 and 7. That time sugar level is 140-160. Is it because sugar variation. If eat something dizziness goes. Is it because of insulin

Male | 73

Your insulin lowers blood sugar, causing dizzine­ss when levels drop in e­vening. Eating raises blood sugar, helping dizzine­ss. Consume snacks before 6 pm to te­st if it improves. Persistent dizzine­ss requires discussion with healthcare­ provider. Small adjustments may make big diffe­rence. Freque­nt monitoring helps regulate sugar fluctuations. Maintaining stable­ levels preve­nts dizzy spells. Seeking me­dical guidance ensures prope­r care.

I did two hba1c tests last month. On one day, my hba1c is 7.9 and the other day it's 6.9. I don't know which one to believe. So I did fbs and ppbs 2 weeks ago. My fbs was 82 and ppbs was 103 I also used medication, and was on a strict diet and exercise from last month. Now I have stopped using medicine. I weighed 107 kgs last month. Now I have lost 6 kgs Am I diabetic? Please answer

Male | 27

It's great that your blood sugar levels are getting better with lifestyle changes. HbA1c test measures the average blood sugar for 2-3 months so, a 6.9 result may be more accurate. Weight loss, exercise, diet changes, and stopping the medicines are all the ones that are working in your case. Make a habit of checking your blood sugar levels regularly and don't let it damage your health.
