triglyceride level all time between 240 to 300. It does not matter what I am eating. I followed strict diet but still result same. What I have to do?
Male | 26
If your triglycerides are regularly from 240 to 300, that’s high. Usually, too many triglycerides mean you don’t eat well (like junk food all the time) and you don’t do exercise. But sometimes, it can come from your family. Rarely have symptoms but maybe sometimes hurt your stomach or give you pancreatitis. Eat the right things more, exercise, and don’t smoke or drink so much if you want lower levels.

Suddenly I found my sugar level is 33 I feel very bad.. What should I do now. Its urgent
Male | 32
A sugar level of 33 is dangerously low. Symptoms like shakiness, dizziness, sweatiness, and confusion occur. This happens when insulin dosages are high or food intake is insufficient. The immediate fix is consuming sugary items like juice, soda, or candy. These quickly raise blood sugar levels. After that, eat protein-rich snacks to stabilize it. Discussing this episode with your doctor is crucial.

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
Male | 39
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.

Male | 25
Estrogen imbalances can lead to brain fog. Brain fog makes it difficult to focus, remember things, and stay clear-headed. High estrogen levels disrupt hormonal balance, causing brain fog symptoms. If high estrogen causes your brain fog, doctors may recommend lifestyle adjustments, medications, or hormone therapy to restore balance.

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.

Hi , My belly has been growing day by day and been losing hair , peeing alot and my lower back is very stiff
Female | 23
You might be experiencing symptoms of diabetes. In diabetes, weight gain can lead to a bigger belly, and hair loss may occur. Frequent urination is common as your body tries to remove excess sugar. Lower back stiffness could be related to kidney issues linked with diabetes. It's important to eat healthy, exercise, and see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Female | 30
Feeling down due to a high thyroid level can be tough. A reading of 4.4 may indicate an imbalance. Symptoms like fatigue, weight fluctuations, and muscle weakness often occur. The looseness in your chest area might stem from thyroid issues impacting your heart or chest muscles. The wise choice is consulting a endocrinologist. They can conduct a thorough evaluation and provide proper treatment.

Need advice related to diabetic health issues
Male | 30
People suffering from diabetes have blood sugar levels that are too high. Knowledge about diabetes can cause people to think that this is a disease of the elderly only but the facts show that it is not that way. They can experience symptoms like excessive thirst, reiterating the need for the bathroom, unwilling weight reduction, and constant fatigue. It is caused when your body either is not producing enough insulin or cannot use it. Get used to eating healthy, exercising, taking medicine if needed, and checking blood sugar levels.

I am 55 year old person and having thyroid problem for last few years. I am taking medicine EUTHYROX 25. But I am in doubt with this medicine. Recently I tested my TSH test again, which result is below... T3 - 1.26 ng/mL T4 - 7.66 ug/dL TSH - 4.25 ml/UL (CLIA METHOD) Please suggest correct type of thyroid and medicine. Thanks
Male | 55
Your TSH level is a bit high, which means your thyroid isn’t making enough hormones. This can make you feel tired, gain weight, and be sensitive to the cold. People who have hypothyroidism usually take EUTHYROX 25 -- you might end up needing more or something else entirely. You must talk to your doctor about what all this means so they can help come up with a plan that will work best for you.
