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.

Female | 22

Weight gain can be influenced by factors like metabolism, diet, and exercise habits. Before starting any supplement, it's best to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause of your low weight. They can recommend personalized strategies, such as increasing calorie and protein intake through a balanced diet and possibly incorporating supplements like protein powders or weight gainer shakes.

Male | 21

It’s good that you’re paying attention to the changes in your body. Sudden weight loss can sometimes be linked to conditions like diabetes, thyroid issues, or other underlying health problems. 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.

Mera age 32 hai. Mai thyroid patient hu. Maine test karwaya hai 2 din pehle. Report aa gya hai mera kitna power medicine chalega ye puchna tha

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.

I have brain fog and I think it is hormonal because my I have gynecosmastia and my estrogen is high any help to treat the brain fog

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.
