Too much weight loss I have hyper thyroidyisam chest looks bones out of it
Male | 36
With hyperthyroidism, your metabolism speeds up, causing weight loss and sometimes making your collarbones or ribs more visible. It's not uncommon to feel this way, but we can help. I recommend you see a endocrinologist for a thorough evaluation and possibly some blood tests to check your thyroid levels. In the meantime, try to eat a balanced diet with extra protein and healthy fats to support your weight.

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.

Male | 37
The symptoms you're experiencing like a sore throat, weakness, and metallic taste could be due to many things - maybe just a regular viral infection or stress. It's common to feel a bit anxious after such an experience, but it doesn't necessarily mean you have HIV. Keep an eye on your symptoms, stay hydrated, eat well, and get enough rest. If things persist or worsen, it's always a good idea to follow up with your sexologist for further evaluation.

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.

I had GYM without diet and hydration (only one or two water of glass in a day) for 3 months about a year ago and after one month during GYM I had started to face problems like too much stress, Low energy, Chest fat (not gynecomastia), Sleep disturbance, More feminine appearance in my face then I tested my Harmones my testosterone is high by 143 as it's normal range and my estradiol is in normal range. I have high Estrogen symptoms but my estradiol report is normal. This is my problem.
Male | 22
The signs you mentioned can be difficult indeed. Although your estradiol levels are normal, hormonal dysfunction can, however, still be the case. Other factors may also play a role in reduced testosterone levels causing increased symptoms. High-intensity workouts without proper nutrition or hydration can lead to the disturbance of hormone balance. Regarding your problem, focus on a balanced diet, hydration, and suitable physical activity. Besides, this you should also consult an endocrinologist.

Consuming 9mg of boron per day may be harmful, particularly if you are thinking about consuming 3 tablets with 3mg of boron in each. The upper limit of boron overdose is manifested in symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

A doctor has given advice jaggery water.Drink water at the time of an empty stomach in the morning , asar time and before going to sleep at night, it balances the hormone. Does it balance hormones ?? If estrogen dominance or testosterone increase ?
Female | 23
Jaggery water, consumed on an empty stomach, is thought to provide various health benefits, including potential hormonal balance. Hormonal imbalances, such as high estrogen or testosterone levels, can lead to symptoms like mood swings, weight gain, and fatigue. While jaggery contains minerals and nutrients that may support overall health, it's not a guaranteed solution for hormonal issues. Consider lifestyle changes, such as a balanced diet and regular exercise, to promote hormonal health. It's wise to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice and to discuss any specific hormonal concerns you may have.

Visit an endocrinologist to check for diabetes and thyroid problems. The doctor may suggest tests like blood sugar levels and thyroid function tests to identify the issue.

I’m writing regarding my father, [age 55 years], who has been showing schizophrenia-like symptoms for many years (around 10 years). His behaviour includes continuous talking, irritability, difficulty following instructions, and being argumentative or suspicious. He was previously on olanzapine, which used to make him very sleepy and inactive — he would mostly stay in bed all day. Because of that, we stopped olanzapine around 4 days ago and started aripiprazole 5 mg daily in the morning after breakfast. Since starting aripiprazole, he has become more awake and active, but now there is increased restlessness, excessive talking, and mild aggression. He doesn’t listen properly and gets stuck on small issues. His weight is around 90 kg, and I feel 5 mg may be too mild because his symptoms are severe and have been constant for years. I wanted to ask if it would be safe and appropriate to increase aripiprazole to 10 mg daily, or if you recommend any other adjustment or short-term calming medication during the transition. Please advise on the safest way forward — whether to raise the dose, continue 5 mg longer, or add any supportive medicine.
Male | 55
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.

Female | 32
The thyroid is a gland in your neck that can sometimes make too much or too little hormone. Tiredness, gaining weight, and anxiousness are all normal. The test you did helps us know the right amount of medicine you need to balance your hormone levels. When you initiate the prescribed medicine, you should be on the road to recovery soon.

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.

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.
