Can Thyroid Affect Cholesterol Levels?

Patient's Query

Problem of Thyroid and Cholesterol

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Thyroid and cholesterol can indeed be intertwined. Thyroid issues can affect your cholesterol levels. When your thyroid is underactive, it can lead to higher cholesterol levels. On the other hand, high cholesterol can also impact your thyroid function. It's like a bit of a dance between the two! To tackle this, we may need to check your thyroid hormone levels and possibly adjust your medication. It's important to eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and follow up with endocrinologist for regular blood tests.

Known diabetes. At night excessive mouth dryness and dorsum of left foot pain currently on touch

Male | 70years dryness of mouth.

Dry mouth, a particularly troublesome foot, is an indicator for diabetes at night when your saliva is not enough. This situation that might decrease saliva production and nerve issues can cause pain or sensitivity.” Keeping water close to the body at regular intervals is an efficient way of staying hydrated. Another option is to set the humidifier in the evening so that it can help the moisture in the air. You can also benefit from verifying your blood sugar levels and ensuring they are constant. It’s just as important to have these symptoms discussed with your healthcare provider.

Among the most general triggers for continuous bleeding are hormonal changes, tension, or else certain body conditions. Signs of the disease might be weakness or discomfort. Remember to observe the rise of any other signs like heavy bleeding or severe pain. In that case, or if it keeps for a long time, I would consult with the doctor first of all. They will provide various ideas and will decide whether further observation is necessary.

Female | 22

Hormonal imbalances, frequently involving estrogen and progesterone, may make a person suffer from specific symptoms like frequent urination, urgency, and even leakages. These adjustments are likely to happen during puberty or menstrual cycles. Stress and certain medications can also contribute to these fluctuations. In order to cure this, a balanced diet, regular exercise, and proper hydration are the best ways out. If not alone, if you have been feeling uncomfortable, I advise you to see a doctor. The health care team would then create suitable dietary counseling and prescribe different treatment options for you.

A blood sugar level of 230 after eating is too high, and fluctuating blood pressure isn't good. This may indicate uncontrolled diabetes, which can cause dizziness or chest pain. To manage it, eat balanced meals, exercise regularly, and reduce salt, sugar, and stress. Drink more water, cut down on caffeine, and ensure you get good sleep. If your readings remain high, see a doctor.

Hello Dr, hope ur doing well! 23yrs old female not married Actually i wanna consult u abt taking Progyluton while i don’t have ovarian cysts neither irregular periods just that i got high testosterone 3.01 and prolactin 26.11 levels somehow. One of the physicians prescribe Cabergoline only that decrease prolactin but what abt testosterone as well, so what i gotta take? P.s. there’s hairsuitism only on chin and legs not chest and back Some pustules n papules acne as well but too rare. Thank you:))

Female | 23

High testoste­rone may cause unwanted hair growth and acne­. Cabergoline treats prolactin issue­s. However, spironolactone tackle­s excess testoste­rone, potentially reducing hirsutism and acne­ by lowering testosterone­ levels. It's wise to discuss this me­dication option with your doctor, as their guidance ensure­s your well-being.

Now doctor gave me thyronorm 50, but still after a week my condition is the same, my heartbeat stays normal as long as i lie down even when i lie down sometimes it rises up... My 2d echo, usg is normal...

Female | 22

A test result of TSH at a high level signifies that the thyroid could be malfunctioning. This can be caused by rapid heart rates, weight loss, and bloating. The medicine is the cause for the improvement, but the improvement may take a while to show. Often, determining the correct dosage requires some experimentation. Do not forget to tell your doctor about any changes or improvements in your health.

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.

Male | 19

During puberty, it's normal to notice more hair on your legs, hands, and chest, along with a growth spurt. These changes are part of becoming a teenager and are not caused by masturbation. Instead, focus on healthy habits like eating well, exercising, and getting enough sleep.
