Why is my chest so bony with hyperthyroidism?

Patient's Query

Too much weight loss I have hyper thyroidyisam chest looks bones out of it

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

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.

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.

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 have health issue suffering from TSH <0.01

A TSH level below 0.01 indicates an overactive thyroid, which can cause symptoms like tachycardia, weight loss, and anxiety. This condition may be due to hyperfunctioning of the thyroid, particularly from Graves' disease. Treatment may include medication for symptom relief and therapies targeting the underlying cause. Regular follow-up is essential.

My TSH LEVEL IS 6.5 , WHAT IS TREATMENT My B12 is 198

Male | 54

Your TSH is 6.5 which means that you may have a thyroid problem. One of the symptoms of this could be feeling weak, gaining weight, or getting cold easily. In addition, with a B12 level of only 198, you are also at risk of feeling numb and weak. You might require medicine to fix the thyroid issue while low B12 might call for adjusting your diet or taking supplements.

Female | 23

Your routine shows good intentions, but certain adjustments could enhance your hormonal balance. Symptoms of estrogen dominance and high testosterone may include mood swings, irregular cycles, and weight changes. Ensure you’re consuming a varied diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep, as rest significantly impacts hormone levels. Staying hydrated and managing stress through relaxation techniques can also help. While herbal remedies can be beneficial, consulting with a healthcare professional for personalized advice is crucial. They can guide you toward effective strategies tailored to your unique situation.

I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease with TSH level almost zero in August 2023. I was prescribed Methimez 15 mg initially, which was gradually reduced to 2.5mg daily. My TSH level is currently 7.9, FT4=0.82, FT3=2.9. Should I still be taking daily methimez 2.5mg or should I fully stop it/reduce it less than 2.5mg daily since TSH level is currently 7.9. History of medical conditions: I was diagnosed with Grave's Disease in August 2023 with TSH level touching zero. Current medication details: I was prescribed Methimez 15mg daily which was gradually reduced and is currently prescribed at 2.5mg on a daily basis. History of medication for the same complaint: None

Male | 41

Graves' Dise­ase affects thyroid function. Your rece­nt TSH test result at 7.9 shows an imbalance. To re­gulate hormone leve­ls, continue taking Methimazole 2.5mg daily as pre­scribed. Stopping this medicine on your own risks causing uncontrolle­d symptoms. These may include rapid he­artbeat, weight fluctuations, and fatigue. If you have­ any worries or questions, be sure­ to discuss them with your doctor.

Understanding that having elevated thyroid levels can be very dangerous, especially with hypothyroidism, is crucial. Symptoms of increased thyroid levels may include feeling hot, sweating, rapid heartbeat, and weight loss. It is essential to cooperate with your doctor in order to identify the safe dosage of thyroid medication for you. Taking the right amount can help alleviate symptoms and keep you well.

I am a 35-year-old woman with hypothyroidism and I've been experiencing weight gain. What are some effective ways to manage my weight?

Male | 35

Hypothyroidism is often linked to weight increase because of slow metabolism. To control weight, eat a balanced diet with whole grains, fruits, and lean proteins while keeping the portion sizes in check. Integrating regular physical movement such as brisk walking or strength training into your life will also contribute to higher metabolism. The most important thing is to stay hydrated and get enough sleep. Therefore, checking your thyroid hormone levels with your doctor regularly is highly recommended, as adjusting the medication may be very beneficial. During an initial consultation, a diet specialist will establish a specific food plan for you.

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.

You need to bear in mind that if she hasn't swallowed any of your pills, there may be side effects involved. Track the following symptoms: Stomach Ace, nausea or vomiting, and feeling shaky. If you find any of these, get help from a doctor or poison control center immediately for first advice.

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.

Hello , I am 27 years old and i have testosterone value 2.89 ng/mL . And i make exercises fitness 3/4 days in week My question is : Can i take some testosterone ?

Male | 27

At your age, having a level of testosterone at 2.89ng/mL is right where it should be. There are several symptoms associated with lowT which include high fatigue levels, decreased libido, and even mood swings. It might be stress or some medical problems causing it; see a doctor before taking testosterone because if not done properly this could harm your body. If you sustain your exercise routine, eat well-balanced meals daily, and have adequate sleep every night -these activities will help maintain normal levels of this hormone.

Female | 70

It is alarming, as it indicates that your mother is not well. Her high blood sugar level of 217.5 mg/dl is worrying. Missing her evening Diapride M2 500mg dose might be the reason. The high content of blood sugar can be the reason for symptoms like thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision. Persuade her to drink plenty of water, take a light, healthy snack, and take her medication. In the case of non-improvement, it's necessary to get professional medical assistance.
