Should I Start Medication for Potassium Level Fluctuation?

Patient's Query

Potassium level is 5.4 in june 29th report and on 26th july level is 5.3 is medication required

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

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.

Hormone coming problem in my private place

Male | 18

It's important to remember that there could be various reasons behind this. Hormonal imbalances can occur due to factors like stress, diet, or even certain medical conditions. To address this, I recommend scheduling a visit with a sexologist. They can evaluate your symptoms, possibly do some tests, and provide you with the appropriate treatment. In the meantime, try to maintain a healthy lifestyle with balanced meals, regular exercise, and stress management techniques.

Female | 22

Cyprodoil is a medicina used for balancing hormones, especially estrogen and progesterone. Blood tests, which confirm changes like acne and hair loss by hormonal dysregulation are regulated. It’s possible that your symptoms are due to the lack of proper hormonal balance that may occur for a number of reasons, including the interference of stress or diet. The treatment that has been suggested by your physician must be followed exactly because every patient is different. In case you continue to struggle with these problems, you should visit your doctor for the follow-up. The doctor might want to hear your experience and preferences to make it a success for you.

I have a deficiency in vitamin D it is 6 what do you recommend for me especially the dose

Female | 10

Your Vitamin D level of 6 is quite low, and it's important to address this. Usually, doctors recommend a high dose of Vitamin D supplements, often around 50,000 IU once a week for a few months, followed by a maintenance dose. However, it’s best to consult an endocrinologist for the right dosage and treatment plan for your specific needs.

Sugar level 154 is this diabetes or not

Male | 42

A sugar level of 154 might mean diabetes, but it's not definite. Diabetes can cause increased thirst, frequent urination, tiredness, and blurry vision. The causes include genetics, unhealthy eating, and lack of exercise. To know for sure, it's wise to see a healthcare provider. They may recommend a blood test and suggest lifestyle changes or medication.

I have insulin resistance. Can I drink fennel seeds water as my night drink? Will it help in reducing my blood sugar levels?

Female | 16

Your body may not answer we­ll to insulin, causing elevated blood sugar le­vels - that's insulin resistance. Taking fe­nnel seeds wate­r is a familiar home treatment, ye­t proof of its direct effect on de­creasing blood sugar amounts is lacking. It's best to concentrate­ on nutritious eating habits, being active, and using any pre­scribed medications by your doctor.

Wen it comes to difficulty gaining weight, a few things could be at play. Factors like a fast metabolism, not eating enough, or certain medical conditions could be involved.

Androgens and Testosterone Hormones Are the Same ?? In women If androgen is high then it means testosterone will also be high ??? If androgens are controlled then testosterone will also be controlled. ??? In girls ? Mera 25 % zyda ha testosterone

Female | 23

Androgens, including testosterone, are indeed related hormones, but they are not identical. Elevated androgen levels can indicate higher testosterone levels, but not always. In women, high testosterone might lead to symptoms like irregular periods, acne, or excessive hair growth. Conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can cause this imbalance. Managing androgen levels through lifestyle changes or medical treatment can help regulate testosterone. It's advisable to consult a healthcare professional to assess your situation, get an accurate diagnosis, and explore appropriate treatment options tailored for you.

My name is Mohan .I have diabetic,cholestrol and thyroid.i am taking a medicine.(diabetes tablets 1000 mg 2 time per day) Now I am feeling too sleepy at day time. Why feeling sleepy mood ?

Male | 47

Feeling sleepy during the day could be because of your diabetes medicine. Sometimes diabetes medicines can make you sleepy. Also, having diabetes, cholesterol, and thyroid issues all together can make you feel tired. Make sure you're eating well, getting enough sleep, and moving around during the day. If it keeps bothering you, talk to your healthcare provider to see if they can adjust your medicine or suggest other options.
