I have high sugar and have low sodium

Male | 65

People should be careful of consuming too much sugar and too little sodium as that can cause them to feel tired, unable to think properly, and generally weak. The sugar levels could rise due to diabetes while the sodium might be reduced through sweating excessively or taking some specific medication. To manage high sugar, one must eat healthily in addition to taking the drugs that have been prescribed for them. A person with low sodium can increase the amount of salt that they take or use drugs which should be administered under strict medical supervision.

Female | 22

It's common for some girls not married to have nightfall (also called wet dreams) a couple of times a month. This is generally the result of hormonal fluctuations in your body. It is not a problem, and it will not have any effect on your married life or health. You can talk to a doctor for more reassurance if you are feeling worried.

I am 36 years old. I have TSH level of 3.6 microIU/mL. What should be the dose of my medicine. Currently I was prescribed with 50mcg.

Female | 36

If your TSH level tests positive with a figure of 3.6 microIU/mL, this is within limits but slightly on the higher side. Higher than normal TSH levels often come with symptoms like fatigue, unexplained weight gain, and feeling cold when others are warm. In case you are experiencing any of these symptoms, alongside the fact that 50mcg is your current dose, it means that you may need to adjust it depending on what your body demands. You must always consult your doctor when there is a need to do so.

It sounds like you have high triglyceride levels. It may be related to too much consumption of saturated fat or a lack of physical activity. High triglycerides can cause heart problems, including heart attack or stroke. To lower them, you need to adopt a new lifestyle such as choosing fresh food and working out regularly. Sometimes, help from a medicine can also bring down your levels.

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 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.

Male | 33

Your thyroid levels appear to be off despite taking the pill. A TSH level of 16 is excessive, this may mean that the amount of the medication your body needs is different. The general signs of a mismanaged thyroid include tiredness, changes in weight, and feeling cold. For better management, it is recommended that you have a discussion with your doctor concerning the adjustment of your medicine.

This is when you eat too few calories for a long period, and suddenly eat a lot; it can be dangerous. Some symptoms include heart problems, difficulty breathing, and weakness. Be sure to start slowly with food again and increase your calorie intake gradually over days or even weeks.

I am having hypothyroidism. Can I visit Keva Ayurveda for best hypothyroidism treatment?

Female | 23

Your thyroid gland makes hormone­s that control how your body works. Hypothyroidism means the gland doesn't make­ enough of these hormone­s. You may feel tired all the­ time. Gaining weight unexpe­ctedly can happen too. Fee­ling cold more often than normal is another symptom. One­ treatment option is Ayurveda. Keva Ayurve­da uses herbs and lifestyle­ changes to help balance hormone­s and bodily functions. Their therapies might e­ase your hypothyroidism symptoms through methods like he­rbal remedies. But don't try anything ne­w without talking to your regular doctor first.

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.

Female | 35

It seems that Vitamin D Vitamin D is lacking in your child's body. This can happen if the child does not spend enough time in nature or does not eat the necessary foods. Low levels can lead to weak bones and immunity. But you don't have to worry a lot as children can be given Vitamin D drops and using the drops once in their food will be sufficient. In addition, sunlight exposure for about 10-15 minutes also helps boost Vitamin D.

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.
