Why is my metabolism affected by Invega Sustenna?
My metabolism has been messed up since taking invega sustenna where i gain a kilo if i eat 100 calories over 1000 calories. i used to be able to eat whatever i wanted well over 2000 calories and flunctuate and go over certain calorie amounts and not gain weight. however after taking invega sustenna 100 mg for 10 months my metabolism has become like this. i discontinued the medicine 2 months ago and my metabolism is still not back to normal. how long will it take for it to go back to normal ?

In some cases, medicine can actually change the way our body burns calories, and hence the weight changes. The metabolism process might be slow to return to normal for a few months after the cessation of the drug. Eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly to help things get back on track.

When the levels of your thyroid are too high or too low, you may experience a lot of discomfort. Signs and symptoms of high levels of thyroid hormone in the bloodstream (hyperthyroidism) can include nervousness, insomnia, and spontaneous weight loss. You will need to collaborate with your doctor to determine the right amount of medication for you. If you think that your levels are off, you must raise this issue with them.

I have symptoms of vitamin d deficiency and got tested please can u prescribe medicine
Female | 50
Experiencing low vitamin D levels may lead to symptoms such as bone pain if proper daily food consumption and sun exposure are not met. A person may suffer from vitamin D deficiency due to insufficient exposure to sunlight and lack of vitamin D-enriched foods. The main causes are for instance unusual fatigue, bone pain, muscle weakness, and frequent sickening episodes. A good way to reinforce your vitamin D levels. Surely, vitamin D consists of supplements helping, for example, outdoor exercise for some time each day. The vitamin D in even more foods such as fish and egg yolks can help too.

Hi I m on thyroid tablets of 125mcg eltroxin My current tsh is 0.012, t3 - 1.05, t4 - 11.5 Should I reduce the dosage to normalise
Female | 32
Based on the thyroid test results, you have slightly low thyroid levels as your TSH is 0.012. Your present dosage of eltroxin may be too high for you; this could be the case. Besides, these might be the possible reasons: you will feel jittery, lose weight, and have trouble sleeping. To correct the dosage, consult your doctor and suggest doing the treatment at the lower dosage to get your thyroid levels back in balance.

Testosterone is a hormone that helps with muscle strength, bone density, and sex drive. To boost testosterone, you can try several methods. First, ensure you get enough rest and exercise, as being overweight or inactive can lower testosterone levels. Eating a balanced diet with protein, healthy fats, and plenty of fruits and vegetables also helps. Additionally, maintain a calm state of mind and get enough vitamin D. It's important to consult a healthcare professional before trying new medications or treatments.

Female | 32
Sometimes tachycardia, a fast heart rate, has symptoms. It can happen from hormone problems like hyperthyroidism. Taking the pill Marvelon for a long time, over 3 years, may cause palpitations. Your heart feels like it's racing or pounding. You might feel short of breath too. These tachycardia attacks can last more than a month. If you have symptoms like these, it's crucial to see a cardiologist. They can check what's causing it and help treat it properly.

I have brain fog and I think it is hormonal because my I have gynecosmastia and my estrogen is high any help to treat the brain fog
Male | 25
Estrogen imbalances can lead to brain fog. Brain fog makes it difficult to focus, remember things, and stay clear-headed. High estrogen levels disrupt hormonal balance, causing brain fog symptoms. If high estrogen causes your brain fog, doctors may recommend lifestyle adjustments, medications, or hormone therapy to restore balance.

Noticing a lack of vitamin D can make you feel anxious, tired, weak, and dizzy. It’s good to sunbathe for 20-30 minutes in sun rays. Keep an eye on the level of vitamin D3 in combination with Biteratecals and take advice from a doctor regularly. If you are still facing hair loss then consult a dermatologist.

Male | 40
Anemia is the condition when your blood does not have enough healthy red blood cells. It can be caused by iron deficiency, vitamin deficiency, or chronic diseases. The management of anemia can help to enhance your health. Diabetes and heart conditions are the main reasons for infertility, however, if the condition is managed properly and an infertility specialist is consulted, having children is still possible.

Hello Dr, hope ur doing well! 23yrs old female not married Actually i wanna consult u abt taking Progyluton while i don’t have ovarian cysts neither irregular periods just that i got high testosterone 3.01 and prolactin 26.11 levels somehow. One of the physicians prescribe Cabergoline only that decrease prolactin but what abt testosterone as well, so what i gotta take? P.s. there’s hairsuitism only on chin and legs not chest and back Some pustules n papules acne as well but too rare. Thank you:))
Female | 23
High testosterone may cause unwanted hair growth and acne. Cabergoline treats prolactin issues. However, spironolactone tackles excess testosterone, potentially reducing hirsutism and acne by lowering testosterone levels. It's wise to discuss this medication option with your doctor, as their guidance ensures your well-being.

I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease with TSH level almost zero in August 2023. I was prescribed Methimez 15 mg initially, which was gradually reduced to 2.5mg daily. My TSH level is currently 7.9, FT4=0.82, FT3=2.9. Should I still be taking daily methimez 2.5mg or should I fully stop it/reduce it less than 2.5mg daily since TSH level is currently 7.9. History of medical conditions: I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease in August 2023 with TSH level touching zero. Current medication details: I was prescribed Methimez 15mg daily which was gradually reduced and is currently prescribed at 2.5mg on a daily basis. History of medication for the same complaint: None
Male | 41
Graves' Disease affects thyroid function. Your recent TSH test result at 7.9 shows an imbalance. To regulate hormone levels, continue taking Methimazole 2.5mg daily as prescribed. Stopping this medicine on your own risks causing uncontrolled symptoms. These may include rapid heartbeat, weight fluctuations, and fatigue. If you have any worries or questions, be sure to discuss them with your doctor.

My fsh level is 6.24 and lh is 24.1 are they normal
Female | 16
FSH (Follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (Luteinizing hormone) regulate your reproductive system. Increased LH and decreased FSH levels may be the reason for diseases like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or early menopause. Symptoms could be a delay in periods, acquisition of acne, or trouble in pregnancy.

Hello I am 20 years old since I was child I always have just a little energy for example when start to run after a few minute I feel very tired . I have a normal weight and height. I got a test now I know that I have subclinical Hypothyroid . I want to know it has a cure.
Male | 20
You seem to be having subclinical hypothyroidism. This illness is not transitory, and, hence, thyroid function also decreases; this is an example. The most common symptoms are fatigue, weight gain, and cold bones. It is good to have your tests done and know the cause. The procedure generally includes taking thyroid medicines that can help balance you out. Often, they manage to bring you improvement and give you a lot of energy.

Female | 60
Your excessive sleep and tiredness could be related to your thyroid issue affecting energy levels and overall health. The ear itching, leg pain, and hand pain may also need further evaluation. Visit an endocrinologist for your thyroid condition and a neurologist to check if there are any nerve-related issues. A proper diagnosis will help you get the right treatment to improve your symptoms.

I'm 22 years old ,,I'm too lean,but I'm not tired anymore,,i have no thyroid issues ,,,,but my waist and thighs are so thin my face also too lean ,,,will u plz prescribe me weight gain injections for me
Female | 22
A fast metabolism or a shortage in the diet can be the reason for a person's problem of maintaining a normal weight. Weight-gaining shots are a bit unsafe since they can have side effects. To gain pounds the healthy way, you should eat foods that are high in proteins, fats, and carbohydrates such as nuts, avocados, and whole grains. Everyday activities like pushups and weightlifting can help you increase your muscles. If you feel that you are too skinny consult a nutritionist for advice.

How to increase my hormone level
Male | 18
If your hormone levels are not where you would like them to be, this could lead to feelings of fatigue as well as irritability. A lack of sufficient rest, stress, or an improper diet are all potential causes behind having low hormonal amounts within the body. To create higher hormone amounts within the body: reduce stress through relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises; aim for at least 8 hours of sleep each night; eat foods that are high in healthy fats like avocados and nuts while also being good sources of protein.

SUGAR LEVEL 230 AFTER EATING AND 112/79 (109 PULSE) (PULSE SOMETIMES GO 77 AND SOMETIMES 110+) WHAT CAN I DO TO TO CONTROL SUGAR AND BP LIKE A NORMAL PERSON
Male | 59
A blood sugar level of 230 after eating is too high, and fluctuating blood pressure isn't good. This may indicate uncontrolled diabetes, which can cause dizziness or chest pain. To manage it, eat balanced meals, exercise regularly, and reduce salt, sugar, and stress. Drink more water, cut down on caffeine, and ensure you get good sleep. If your readings remain high, see a doctor. Maintaining balanced meals, regular exercise, less salt and sugar, and managing stress, along with staying hydrated and getting enough sleep, are crucial.
