Can I Share My Hypothyroidism Test Results Today?
I have hypothyroidism and taking medicine.I have checked thyroid today and I want to show the thyroid report
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
You were diagnosed with hypothyroidism. That means your thyroid gland isn't producing enough hormones. The report shows levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). High TSH indicates low thyroid hormone production. Thyroid medication helps restore hormone balance, relieving symptoms. You can also visit an endocrinologist for evaluation.

What do my TSH, T4, and T3 levels mean?
I had a general check up today TSH - 0.11 T4 - 16.60 T3 - 4.32 what does this indicate?
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
Your test results showed a low TSH level. Your T4 and T3 were high. This means your thyroid is overactive. It's called hyperthyroidism. You may lose weight, feel jittery, sweat more. It can happen due to autoimmune issues or thyroid nodules. Options are medication or radioactive iodine treatment in some cases. You can also consult an endocrinologist.

Why are my HbA1c, PPBS, and FBS high?
My hba1c is 11.3 and ppbs is328.5 and fbs is 261.6
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
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.

Can Steroids Tablets at 28 Cause Side Effects?
I am 28 years old and I am taking steroids tablet..can it have side effects???
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
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.

Dr. Babita Goel

Answered on 23rd May '24
Increased prolactin amounts can happen sometimes, and taking cabgolin is right for that. This medicine can bring about side-effects like nausea, dizziness, headaches. Elevated prolactin might make periods irregular or milk production start. To minimize discomfort, consume cabgolin after meals. If problems persist, talk to your doctor.

The management of diabetes entails the use of both medicine and a modified lifestyle coupled with regular checks.

Can I Test My Own Intracellular Calcium Levels?
I am wondering can you do a test for intracellular calcium levels yourself? If the intracellular calcium levels are too high, would that show up in calcium blood test?
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
You cannot test your cell calcium levels by yourself. High calcium in the cells may not appear in a normal blood test. Too much calcium inside your cells can make you feel weak and tired. It can also make you confused. Some medicines may cause high cell calcium levels. If you have high cell calcium, your doctor may change your medicine or try other treatments.

Dr. Babita Goel

Answered on 23rd May '24
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.

Why is my urine smelling like sewer with untreated diabetes?
Untreated diabetes weight loss medication and urine smells like sewer
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
If you do not take care of diabetes, you may lose weight. Your pee might also smell bad. This happens when your body cannot use sugar right. It starts using fat and muscle for energy instead. This causes weight loss. To fix this, you must control your diabetes. Eat healthy foods, exercise, and take medicine as told. This will help keep your blood sugar levels normal.

Having low vitamin D can make you feel very tired. It can also cause pain in your legs. The medicines you are taking are good. But it takes time to feel better. It usually takes a few weeks or months for your vitamin D levels to go up. And it takes time to feel normal again. Keep taking your medicines every day.

I am 30 weeks pregnant with diabetis. I am on 12 unit insulin for lunch and dinner. And 14 unit in the night for next day fasting level. I am not eating anything sweet or rice or potato still my sugar is not in control. I eat only two roti dal and sabji in day and night. In the middle I eat apple and nuts. Only. Can you guide what could be the issue. Should I increase my insulin unit. Sometimes with the same food same unit of insulin it comes normal in range like 110 but most of the time it comes 190. For morning I eat besan or dal chilla or boiled chana.
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
It is good you are taking care of your diabetes with insulin and good food. But, blood sugar can be hard to control during pregnancy because of hormone changes. Eating two rotis with dal and sabji, plus an apple and nuts is a wise choice. Check your blood sugar at different times to see how your body reacts to food and insulin. You may need to change your insulin doses with your doctor's help.

i just want to ask about if my hypothyroidism problem can be cured as most of the time i have high value of TSH and also have symptoms like irregular periods, brittle nails and excessive hair loss. I'm a female of 23, i have hypothyroidism issue since i was 15.
Dr. Babita Goel

It seems like you might suffer from hypothyroidism, where your thyroid doesn't produce enough thyroid hormones. This can result in high TSH levels as well as symptoms such as irregular periods, weak nails, and hair loss. Normally, hypothyroidism entails long-term treatment with thyroid hormone medications to help control its signs. You should continually see a doctor who'll watch out for your thyroid levels and modify the treatment when necessary.

Do my thyroid levels require medical attention at 24?
I an 24 year old female my T4is 12.90 and TSH 2.73 , T3=1.45 and Hemoglobin=11.70. I there a matter of concern
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
Hi there, after looking at your results, it seems to me that with a few exceptions, your thyroid levels are normal. Just to mention the numbers, all TSH, T3, and T4 are great, and hemoglobin appears slightly low, enough to cause symptoms like tiredness and dizziness, or lack thereof. Increasing iron intake through food may help boost the hemoglobin level.

Take supplements like D rise 2K, Evion LC, and Methylcobalamin to boost your levels. It will take a few months for your vitamin D levels to go back to normal and you will start feeling better. Take your supplements as directed, get some sunlight, and eat foods rich in vitamin D like fish and eggs. follow up with your doctor to monitor your progress.
