It's common to experience headaches and discomfort after high blood sugar levels, especially in individuals managing diabetes. The pain you're feeling may be tension-related, possibly linked to the stress of monitoring your condition. Staying well-hydrated and managing stress can help alleviate symptoms. Ensure you’re following your insulin regimen, and monitor your glucose regularly. If your headache persists or worsens, or if you notice any changes in your vision or other concerning symptoms, please contact endocrinologist promptly. They can offer tailored advice and ensure your well-being.

You should discuss any insulin regimen changes with a doctor before you do anything. Both Fiasp and Novarapid are rapid-acting insulins to be used to treat diabetes by controlling blood sugar levels. It is recommended to follow only the insulin given by the doctor to avoid any complications.

Mera tsh level 5.94 hai to Mai 25mcg ki tablet le sakti
Female | 26
A TSH level of 5.94 might indicate a problem with your thyroid gland. If you're feeling tired, gaining weight, or always feeling cold, these could be signs of an underactive thyroid. Taking a 25 mcg tablet daily can help balance your thyroid hormone levels. However, it's important to consult your doctor and have regular check-ups to stay on track.

It’s good that you’re paying attention to the changes in your body. Sudden weight loss can sometimes be linked to conditions like diabetes, thyroid issues, or other underlying health problems. Visit an endocrinologist to check for diabetes and thyroid problems. The doctor may suggest tests like blood sugar levels and thyroid function tests to identify the issue.

I am 21 years old, my weight is only 34 kg and I have also done all the tests, there is no such symptom came in reports , I want to increase my weight and breast increase, so please suggest me medicine.
Female | 21
You want to get fit. Being too thin can happen if your body uses up food fast or if you do not eat a lot. To gain weight, eat good stuff like fruits, veggies, grains, and protein. Do not skip meals. Eat often. As for breasts, they come in all shapes and sizes for each girl. Pills may not change them much.

I am 28 years old and I am taking steroids tablet..can it have side effects???
Female | 28
Steroids can impact your body negatively. Common side effects include weight gain, acne breakouts, mood fluctuations, and sleeping difficulties. This happens because steroids interfere with natural functions within your system. Weight gain and acne result from hormonal changes caused by steroids. Mood swings and insomnia occur when steroids disrupt chemical balances regulating emotions and sleep cycles. If experiencing these issues, consult your doctor immediately.

"I am 19 years old. I have been feeling nauseous and vomiting, especially during meals, for the past four months. My thyroid condition was detected in the reports. I have been taking thyroid medication for the last two weeks, but my nausea and vomiting have not reduced at all. Please help me."
Female | 19
Enduring prolonged nausea and vomiting can be challenging. While these symptoms may be related to a thyroid condition, thyroid medication alone might not fully resolve them. It's important to discuss these ongoing symptoms with your healthcare provider. In some cases, your current treatment may need additional medications or adjustments to better manage the nausea and vomiting.

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.

I have diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in October 2023 , i get my periods on time till now but only problem is the flow change its very light and scanty only lasts for about 2 days earlier it was normal flow with 5 day cycle I am very irritated because of this , I live in hostel so when I get home back it was gradually become a little normal but then again the same when came back .pls guide some medications to normal it
Female | 19
Hormonal imbalances with hyperthyroidism can alter your cycle. This may lead to light, scanty menstruation. The good news is that when you return home, it becomes normal again but changes after some time. For you, adjusting medications could be useful in balancing hormones as well as enhancing flow during menses. Have a talk with your doctor about this.

Male | 29
]At 29, 2.03 ng/ml testosterone level is lower than the normal range. Lower levels of this hormone can cause tiredness, reduced sexual desire, and mood swings. Possible causes include being overweight, stress, or certain diseases. To deal with it, you should consult with a healthcare professional so that they may carry out more tests on you among other things if necessary, and propose suitable remedies if needed.

A hbA1c sugar level of 9.1 means that your blood sugar has been high for some time. Even if you do not feel it, high levels can damage your body. Symptoms may not appear immediately. This should be taken seriously. Eating well, exercising, and perhaps medicine may help lower your blood sugar.

My Thyroid TSH level is 36.80 I want to confirm the medicine and dosage
Female | 31
A TSH level of 36.80 indicates that your thyroid might be malfunctioning. Among its signs and symptoms are getting tired, gaining weight, and always being cold. The so-called hypothyroidism can also be one of the reasons why. Commonly, doctors tend to prescribe drugs based on thyroid hormones such as levothyroxine. The dosage should be calculated by your doctor for your specific needs.

I accidentally took 2.5 instead of .25 semiglutide. What should I do.
Female | 51
The semaglutide you took too much of may cause stomach discomfort, diarrhea, or increased sweating. The risk of receiving too much is the probability of being unable to lower your blood sugar levels. You should drink water and eat a sweet thing like a piece of candy or juice. Don't worry; if you feel discomfort, you may seek the advice of a medical professional immediately. Please take care!
