Vitamin D Deficiency: Optimal Dosage and Duration
Hi my vitamin d tests came back as 26.3 Can i take vit d3 60000iu capsule weekly once and till how much time i should continue
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 31st July '24
You have low vitamin D, only 26.3. That's too little. Low vitamin D causes tiredness, weak muscles, and bone pain. Take 60000 IU vitamin D3 capsules weekly. Do it for 8 to 12 weeks, or how long your doctor says. Get tested again to check if your levels improve. Eat healthy foods and spend some time in the sun to raise vitamin D further.

Stopping teriparatide suddenly may impact bone strength. Though you won't feel effects immediately, over time, reduced density weakens bones and fracture risk rises. Don't miss doses; following doctor's orders is key to reinforce bone health and avoid issues.

What Are the Health Conditions Associated with High Thyroid?
Thyroid high hone se kya bimri ho jati hai
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 31st July '24
The thyroid gland creates hormones. Too many hormones mean hyperthyroidism. You may lose weight, feel anxious, have a fast heartbeat, or sweat excessively. Graves' disease causes hyperthyroidism. Medications lower thyroid hormone levels. In severe cases, surgery removes part of the thyroid. If you suspect hyperthyroidism, consult your doctor immediately. They can evaluate symptoms and prescribe treatment.

Is Fennel Water Beneficial for Insulin Resistance?
I have insulin resistance. Can I drink fennel seeds water as my night drink? Will it help in reducing my blood sugar levels?
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 25th July '24
Your body may not answer well to insulin, causing elevated blood sugar levels - that's insulin resistance. Taking fennel seeds water is a familiar home treatment, yet proof of its direct effect on decreasing blood sugar amounts is lacking. It's best to concentrate on nutritious eating habits, being active, and using any prescribed medications by your doctor.
