Sir,can iuse linagluptin instead of teneligliptin
Answered by Dr. Babita Goel
Linagliptin and teneligliptin are diabetes medicines. They regulate blood sugar levels. But, switching medications isn't so simple. Your doctor knows best. Tell them your situation. They'll suggest the ideal option. It depends on your symptoms and health. Don't change meds on your own.

Female | 27
Your test results show a non-cancerous growth, a follicular adenoma. This means surgery is usually unnecessary. Regular check-ups may be required to monitor it. Sometimes, medications help relieve symptoms like throat pressure or discomfort.

my doctor wrote in my latest prescription f 31.9,what is that supposed to mean?
Female | 22
The code F31.9 relates to a condition known as bipolar disorder, unspecified. This means you might experience significant mood fluctuations, including episodes of depression or mania without detailed specifics. Causes can vary widely, including genetics, brain chemistry, and environmental factors. Managing this condition often involves therapy, lifestyle changes, and possibly medication to stabilize mood. It’s essential to maintain a supportive network and engage in regular self-care practices. I encourage you to discuss with endocrinologist for personalized advice and comprehensive support tailored to your needs.

My metabolism has been messed up since taking invega sustenna where i gain a kilo if i eat 100 calories over 1000 calories. i used to be able to eat whatever i wanted well over 2000 calories and flunctuate and go over certain calorie amounts and not gain weight. however after taking invega sustenna 100 mg for 10 months my metabolism has become like this. i discontinued the medicine 2 months ago and my metabolism is still not back to normal. how long will it take for it to go back to normal ?
Female | 27
In some cases, medicine can actually change the way our body burns calories, and hence the weight changes. The metabolism process might be slow to return to normal for a few months after the cessation of the drug. Eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly to help things get back on track.

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.

i am always dizzy from 3 weeks my vitamin d level is 9.6 and my vitamin b12 is 286 and my thyroid tsh is 4.5
Male | 21
Based on your vitamin levels and thyroid function, it seems like the low vitamin D and B12 levels could be contributing to your dizziness. When these levels are low, it can affect your energy and overall well-being. Your slightly elevated TSH could also indicate a thyroid concern. To help you feel better, I recommend starting supplements for vitamin D and B12 as advised by your doctor. It's also important to follow up with further thyroid testing and a discussion about potential treatment options. Stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any more concerns.

Known diabetes. At night excessive mouth dryness and dorsum of left foot pain currently on touch
Male | 70years dryness of mouth.
Dry mouth, a particularly troublesome foot, is an indicator for diabetes at night when your saliva is not enough. This situation that might decrease saliva production and nerve issues can cause pain or sensitivity.” Keeping water close to the body at regular intervals is an efficient way of staying hydrated. Another option is to set the humidifier in the evening so that it can help the moisture in the air. You can also benefit from verifying your blood sugar levels and ensuring they are constant. It’s just as important to have these symptoms discussed with your healthcare provider.

Female | 24
It sounds like you’re experiencing chronic fatigue and a sensation of heat in your body. Possible reasons could include hormonal imbalances, anxiety, or even nutritional deficiencies. While your tests show normal results, it’s important to consider lifestyle factors such as diet, hydration, and stress management. Engaging in regular physical activity, ensuring proper nutrition, and practicing relaxation techniques might help alleviate your symptoms. However, given the duration and persistence of your issues, I encourage you to consult an endocrinologist for a comprehensive evaluation and targeted treatment plan.

Female | 24
A prolonged white discharge accompanied by severe fatigue can be concerning. High TSH levels may indicate that your thyroid isn't functioning properly, which could be causing these symptoms. Hormonal imbalances can lead to such symptoms and unusual discharge. It's important to discuss these results with an endocrinologist for a thorough examination and appropriate treatment.

Male | 25
It's common to experience headaches and discomfort after high blood sugar levels, especially in individuals managing diabetes. The pain you're feeling may be tension-related, possibly linked to the stress of monitoring your condition. Staying well-hydrated and managing stress can help alleviate symptoms. Ensure you’re following your insulin regimen, and monitor your glucose regularly. If your headache persists or worsens, or if you notice any changes in your vision or other concerning symptoms, please contact endocrinologist promptly. They can offer tailored advice and ensure your well-being.
