Why Am I Losing Weight Rapidly?

I am 47 years old male.I am loosing my weight constantly since February I was 63 in weight but now I am only 58 in weight

Answered on 16th Oct '24

Weight loss may be due to different causes such as lack of proper diet, stress, or an underlying health issue. You might also have symptoms like fatigue, weakness, or changes in appetite. For this, eating a balanced diet, drinking enough water, and going to a dietitian for further evaluation and guidance are the important things to do.

I am 29 year old male and recently tested my testosterone level. It is 2.03 ng/ml. So i want to ask..is this is normal?

Male | 29

Typically, this hormone sits within the range of 2.5 to 10 ng/ml in men. A level lower than 2.03 ng/ml might indicate you have an issue. That's not too far below average. Having low T can cause symptoms such as fatigue, low libido, and mood swings among others. Many things can lead to it happening including stress obesity or certain medical conditions. I recommend talking with your doctor about what these results mean for you and what steps can be taken toward balancing them out.

Untreated diabetes weight loss medication and urine smells like sewer

Female | 44

If you do not take care­ of diabetes, you may lose we­ight. Your pee might also smell bad. This happe­ns when your body cannot use sugar right. It starts using fat and muscle for e­nergy instead. This causes we­ight loss. To fix this, you must control your diabetes. Eat healthy foods, e­xercise, and take me­dicine as told. This will help kee­p your blood sugar levels normal.

Hi doctor, I have thyroid TSH 8.5 and also I am pregnant (3 weeks), so my question is is that a very dangerous level of thyroiad

Female | 23

In pregnancy, a TSH re­ading at 8.5 indicates suboptimal thyroid performance. Pote­ntial manifestations encompass fatigue, incre­ased weight, and lowere­d body temperature. Furthe­rmore, implications for the fetus may arise­. To rectify this issue, physicians often pre­scribe medication to normalize hormone­ levels.

I'm a 35-year-old female with hypothyroidism. What kind of diet should I follow to manage my condition better and maintain a healthy weight?

Female | 35

Hypothyroidism refers to a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough of the thyroid hormone. You may gain weight easily, feel tired, and have difficulty concentrating. To combat your problem and to maintain a healthy body try to have balanced food. The best way to include them in your diet is to concentrate on whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Sweet stuff and processed foods must be out of your sight. Eating right can have a significant effect on your metabolic rate and the overall performance of your body.

Female | 57

Your potassium levels are slightly high, but there's no need to worry. High potassium levels in your body might not cause any symptoms, but a weak or irregular heartbeat could be a sign of it. Possible causes include diet, certain medications, or kidney problems. To lower your potassium level, you can try changing your diet or consult your doctor for advice.

I an 24 year old female my T4is 12.90 and TSH 2.73 , T3=1.45 and Hemoglobin=11.70. I there a matter of concern

Female | 24

Hi there, after looking at your results, it seems to me that with a few exceptions, your thyroid levels are normal. Just to mention the numbers, all TSH, T3, and T4 are great, and hemoglobin appears slightly low, enough to cause symptoms like tiredness and dizziness, or lack thereof. Increasing iron intake through food may help boost the hemoglobin level.

I did two hba1c tests last month. On one day, my hba1c is 7.9 and the other day it's 6.9. I don't know which one to believe. So I did fbs and ppbs 2 weeks ago. My fbs was 82 and ppbs was 103 I also used medication, and was on a strict diet and exercise from last month. Now I have stopped using medicine. I weighed 107 kgs last month. Now I have lost 6 kgs Am I diabetic? Please answer

Male | 27

It's great that your blood sugar levels are getting better with lifestyle changes. HbA1c test measures the average blood sugar for 2-3 months so, a 6.9 result may be more accurate. Weight loss, exercise, diet changes, and stopping the medicines are all the ones that are working in your case. Make a habit of checking your blood sugar levels regularly and don't let it damage your health.

Masturbation is a normal thing that comes with body changes occurring during puberty. The growth spurt, hair growth, and other changes you mentioned are typical signs of puberty. The body is simply going through the process of normal growth and development. Continue to look after yourself by eating right, staying active, and seeking help from a trusted adult if you have any concerns.

I am 33 years old male I have thyroid and I am taking 100mg tablet for that today I conducted test for thyroid I got 16 tsh even though using tablet

Male | 33

Your thyroid levels appear to be off despite taking the pill. A TSH level of 16 is excessive, this may mean that the amount of the medication your body needs is different. The general signs of a mismanaged thyroid include tiredness, changes in weight, and feeling cold. For better management, it is recommended that you have a discussion with your doctor concerning the adjustment of your medicine.

Female | 26

It’s normal for their cholesterol levels to go up. Moreover, the thyroid medication you are on may be a contributing factor. Keep track of your cholesterol since it can sometimes be risky. Ensure you eat well and stay physically fit too. You should see a doctor about any worries you might have.

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.

Male | 23

Also referred to as diabetes, sugar disease occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin. The main cause is when the sugars in your body are not used adequately. If one has experienced this, coordinating regular exercises and consuming healthy choices would probably be a wise move.

It's wise to visit your healthcare provide­r for an explanation of this result. Your symptoms will vary depe­nding on the reason.

"I am 19 years old. I have been feeling nauseous and vomiting, especially during meals, for the past four months. My thyroid condition was detected in the reports. I have been taking thyroid medication for the last two weeks, but my nausea and vomiting have not reduced at all. Please help me."

Female | 19

Enduring prolonged nausea and vomiting can be challenging. While these symptoms may be related to a thyroid condition, thyroid medication alone might not fully resolve them. It's important to discuss these ongoing symptoms with your healthcare provider. In some cases, your current treatment may need additional medications or adjustments to better manage the nausea and vomiting.

My Vitamin d is 5. Is this very low and what symptoms i might feel in daily life?

Female | 29

A Vitamin D level of 5 is quite low. It can lead to symptoms like tiredness, muscle weakness, bone pain, and getting sick often. This can happen because your body needs Vitamin D to stay strong and healthy. You can increase your Vitamin D level by spending time in the sun, taking supplements, and eating foods like fish and eggs that contain Vitamin D.
