I m a 23 year old girl i have hypothyroidism and i want to know about it
Female | 23
Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland produces too few thyroid hormones. The symptoms of this may include experiencing fatigue, gaining weight for no purpose, having dry skin, and feeling constantly cold. This can occur because of an infection, an autoimmune disease, or even after pregnancy. Typically, medications are recommended to help control thyroid hormones to re-balance the levels.

Hello Doctor My name is Ashiya, and I have been dealing with subclinical hypothyroidism since I was 6 years old. It all started when I suddenly became very thin during my first grade. Concerned, my parents took me to a doctor who was already treating my mother for her subclinical hypothyroidism. After some blood work, the results showed elevated TSH levels at 10.5, while my T4 and T3 levels were normal. The doctor diagnosed me with hypothyroidism and prescribed thyroxine. Now, at 17, I want to understand more about hypothyroidism. Despite reading numerous articles and watching videos, I'm still unclear about the root causes of my subclinical hypothyroidism. I even don't have Hashimoto's thyroiditis. I've learned that deficiencies in selenium, zinc, copper, magnesium, and vitamin D can lead to subclinical hypothyroidism. My primary concern is whether this condition is permanent. I'm hesitant about taking a tablet every morning for the rest of my life . I would greatly appreciate your time to delve deeper into this condition.There's much to discuss, especially since my sister's TSH levels have recently elevated. We consulted a gynecologist [because my sister was not having her periods and the doctor got her thyroid test and found her TSH levels got elavated] and prescribed her 25 mcg of thyroxine, which I believe was inappropriate as her TSH levels were only at 9. Additionally, the doctor didn't test for antibodies. After 15 days of taking the tablets, my sister experienced throat pain and muscle pains. Now, her recent thyroid test showed a decrease to 8 without any thyroxine. We went to another doctor, who performed a TPO test and discovered that my sister does not have any antibodies. She's now focusing on her diet, incorporating brazil nuts for selenium, brown rice, and other foods rich in zinc, magnesium, and copper, as well as getting adequate sunlight for vitamin D. I'm hopeful that with your guidance, we can normalize her TSH levels and mine too without the need for lifelong medication. Could you please provide me with more information about this condition? Thank you. Sincerely, Ashiya.

Subclinical hypothyroidism can have different causes and may not always be permanent. Addressing nutrient deficiencies and other underlying issues can sometimes improve thyroid function. Consulting an endocrinologist is crucial to determine the best approach for your specific condition and to see if long-term medication is necessary.

My hba1c is 11.3 and ppbs is328.5 and fbs is 261.6
Male | 32
Having a high HbA1c value of 11.3 means your body struggles with sugar management. Additionally, blood sugar readings of 328.5 after meals and 261.6 when fasting indicate the same issue. You may experience increased thirst, frequent urination, and fatigue as symptoms. This condition could be diabetes. To improve, make dietary changes, exercise regularly, and consider medication prescribed by a doctor for better blood sugar control.

I noticed unexpected weight loss of my body during last few months. Report tell us that haemoglobin is some sort in the body and ECG report suggests that everything is normal. One more concern is that in night, don't sleep comes..??
Male | 52
Excessive weight loss and too little sleep are some reasons that could be due to worry, an unhealthy diet, or maybe some other ailments such as hyperthyroidism. It is great to hear that your hemoglobin is within limits and your ECG is normal, yet it is probably useful to chat with your doctor to get an idea about what your dearth of sleep stems from. Don't forget to tell your doctor about all your symptoms and worries, so they can help you understand the best solution to your problem.

Do I have thyroid if my T3 is 1.08 and T4 is 8.20?
Female | 19
When you check your T3 and T3, it may show troubling signs that your thyroid gland is malfunctioning. Common signs related to having low this gland would involve tiredness, weight gain, and tingling from the low body temperature. Development of this might happen as a result of the underactive thyroid.

Over the last one year I have noticed many changes like I have lost a lot of weight, skin has become very dry, eye problems, most of the time my body feel too much week that i can not describe.
Male | 19
Your symptoms suggest you have hyperthyroidism - a thyroid gland producing excessive hormone. Unintended weight loss, dry skin, eye troubles, and fatigue are signs. Your overactive thyroid makes too much hormone. With medical help, pills or therapies treat this condition. Consult an endocrinologist for proper diagnosis and care.

Female | 19
Not only this, but PCOS might also lead to extreme hair growth, acne, and irregular periods. This is one of the reasons for the proliferation of this syndrome with unbalanced hormones. Nutritious food, exercising, as well as staying at a healthy weight can help to manage the symptoms. In addition to the above, medications and hormone therapy administration may help regulate the hormones and attain fertility.

I had GYM without diet and hydration (only one or two water of glass in a day) for 3 months about a year ago and after one month during GYM I had started to face problems like too much stress, Low energy, Chest fat (not gynecomastia), Sleep disturbance, More feminine appearance in my face then I tested my Harmones my testosterone is high by 143 as it's normal range and my estradiol is in normal range. I have high Estrogen symptoms but my estradiol report is normal. This is my problem.
Male | 22
The signs you mentioned can be difficult indeed. Although your estradiol levels are normal, hormonal dysfunction can, however, still be the case. Other factors may also play a role in reduced testosterone levels causing increased symptoms. High-intensity workouts without proper nutrition or hydration can lead to the disturbance of hormone balance. Regarding your problem, focus on a balanced diet, hydration, and suitable physical activity. Besides, this you should also consult an endocrinologist.

I'm Farhanaz Parvin I'm 27 years old. HCG 5000 is not working for me.how to take 1000hcg injection?is there a gap of 12 hours will it works?
Female | 27
If the 5000 HCG isn't working well for you, it's best to bring to your doctor's attention for a dosage adjustment. The 1000 HCG injection plus 12 hours is not likely to work and may even cause side effects. The resulting signs can be hormone disturbances and pregnancy problems. The doctor will indicate the correct dosage to help you feel better.

Suddenly I found my sugar level is 33 I feel very bad.. What should I do now. Its urgent
Male | 32
A sugar level of 33 is dangerously low. Symptoms like shakiness, dizziness, sweatiness, and confusion occur. This happens when insulin dosages are high or food intake is insufficient. The immediate fix is consuming sugary items like juice, soda, or candy. These quickly raise blood sugar levels. After that, eat protein-rich snacks to stabilize it. Discussing this episode with your doctor is crucial.

Additionally, you should visit a neurologist for your vertigo and migraine concerns, as they can provide specialized care for these conditions.

The body is simply going through the process of normal growth and development.

Need advice related to diabetic health issues
Male | 30
People suffering from diabetes have blood sugar levels that are too high. Knowledge about diabetes can cause people to think that this is a disease of the elderly only but the facts show that it is not that way. They can experience symptoms like excessive thirst, reiterating the need for the bathroom, unwilling weight reduction, and constant fatigue. It is caused when your body either is not producing enough insulin or cannot use it. Get used to eating healthy, exercising, taking medicine if needed, and checking blood sugar levels.
