Should my 14-year-old daughter use Combee L contraceptive pills?
A hemoglobin level of 10.3 can contribute to irregular periods due to inadequate oxygen supply. The iron supplements should help improve this over time. The contraceptive pills prescribed can regulate her cycle by providing a steady hormone level. It's quite common for young girls to use these pills for period irregularities. Just make sure to follow up with the gynecologist regularly to monitor her progress.

Could High TSH Levels Affect Me for a Year?
A high TSH level typically indicates an underactive thyroid gland, which may lead to symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and feeling cold.

Could past atenolol use cause hypothyroidism now?
It's possible that the symptoms you experienced in 2020 could be related to the high dose of atenolol you took. Atenolol can sometimes cause side effects like dizziness, vomiting, and fatigue. However, hypothyroidism typically develops over time due to various factors, so it might not directly be linked to that specific incident. It's essential to focus on managing your hypothyroidism now. I recommend discussing your concerns with a endocrinologist who can evaluate your symptoms, run necessary tests, and create a personalized treatment plan for you.
