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.

Can Thyroid Affect Cholesterol Levels?
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.

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.

Could I be pregnant after 50 mcg thyroid tablets?
It's not uncommon for it to take some time. Sometimes stress or changes in routine can delay your period, making the test show negative. In fact, thyroid issues can also impact fertility. My advice would be to wait a few more days and then take another pregnancy test. If it's still negative and your period hasn't arrived, it's best to consult your gynecologist. They can provide further guidance and maybe run some additional tests to rule out any other factors affecting your fertility.

Is My Health at Risk with Serum AMH 1.83?
Having a serum AMH level of 1.83 is actually within the normal range for many people, so it's not necessarily a cause for alarm. AMH, or anti-Mullerian hormone, is a marker of ovarian reserve, which means it gives us an idea of how many eggs you have left. A level of 1.83 could still mean you have a good number of eggs remaining. However, if you're concerned about fertility or planning to have children, it might be helpful to discuss this result with a gynecologist who can provide more personalized advice based on your specific situation.

The switch from olanzapine to aripiprazole seems to have helped with his alertness but brought about some restlessness and increased talking, which can be common when adjusting medications. Given his weight and the severity of his symptoms, increasing the aripiprazole to 10 mg could be an option. However, it's crucial to consult his neurologist before making any changes. They can assess his response to the current dose and guide you on the best way forward, whether it's adjusting the dosage or adding supportive medication temporarily. These adjustments often require close monitoring to ensure the best outcome for your father. Don't hesitate to reach out to his healthcare provider for guidance.
