Can Steroids Tablets at 28 Cause Side Effects?
I am 28 years old and I am taking steroids tablet..can it have side effects???
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 26th Apr '24
Steroids can impact your body negatively. Common side effects include weight gain, acne breakouts, mood fluctuations, and sleeping difficulties. This happens because steroids interfere with natural functions within your system. Weight gain and acne result from hormonal changes caused by steroids. Mood swings and insomnia occur when steroids disrupt chemical balances regulating emotions and sleep cycles. If experiencing these issues, consult your doctor immediately.

Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 26th Apr '24
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.

Why are my HbA1c, PPBS, and FBS high?
My hba1c is 11.3 and ppbs is328.5 and fbs is 261.6
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 26th Apr '24
Having a high HbA1c value of 11.3 means your body struggles with sugar management. Additionally, blood sugar readings of 328.5 after meals and 261.6 when fasting indicate the same issue. You may experience increased thirst, frequent urination, and fatigue as symptoms. This condition could be diabetes. To improve, make dietary changes, exercise regularly, and consider medication prescribed by a doctor for better blood sugar control.

What do my TSH, T4, and T3 levels mean?
I had a general check up today TSH - 0.11 T4 - 16.60 T3 - 4.32 what does this indicate?
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 19th Apr '24
Your test results showed a low TSH level. Your T4 and T3 were high. This means your thyroid is overactive. It's called hyperthyroidism. You may lose weight, feel jittery, sweat more. It can happen due to autoimmune issues or thyroid nodules. Options are medication or radioactive iodine treatment in some cases. You can also consult an endocrinologist.

Can I Share My Hypothyroidism Test Results Today?
I have hypothyroidism and taking medicine.I have checked thyroid today and I want to show the thyroid report
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 18th Apr '24
You were diagnosed with hypothyroidism. That means your thyroid gland isn't producing enough hormones. The report shows levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). High TSH indicates low thyroid hormone production. Thyroid medication helps restore hormone balance, relieving symptoms. You can also visit an endocrinologist for evaluation.

Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 13th July '23
In thyroid disorders, swelling or enlargement of the thyroid gland, known as a goiter, can occur, but it is not always present. If your mother's doctor has advices that her thyroid problem is in the early stages and not a cause for worry, It is best to continue with the prescribed treatment and follow up for monitoring

Medical Validity for Sugar Level 106.24 H - To Test or Not to Test?
Is sugar level 106.24 H is valid for medical test ?
Dr. Babita Goel
General Physician
Answered on 10th July '23
The term "106.24 H" is not a standard unit of measurement for blood sugar levels. Blood sugar levels are typically measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or millimoles per liter (mmol/L).
If the value you mentioned, 106.24 H, is in mg/dL or mmol/L, it would be helpful to know the reference range or normal range provided by the specific laboratory or healthcare institution conducting the test.

Dr. Pradeep Mahajan

Answered on 6th Feb '23
Stem cell therapy is helpful for treatment of type 2 diabetes, but it is not yet FDA approved and is under clinical trials. I advise you to consult a doctor in person. Based on proper evaluation , he will suggest whether stem cell therapy is right for you and discuss the treatment options that you can consider for managing your diabetes. I hope this proved useful.

I am facing hair fall issue and growing hair on chin, I have thyroid is it because of that? I want to take consultation and treatment for the same.

Answered on 3rd Feb '22
Thyroid disorder is definitely linked with hair growth that you find on chin, but hair fall could have other reasons too. However, it's better to consult an endocrinologist first, so that you can adapt better ways to manage thyroid, and if you continue to face hair fall issues even after your hormones become stable, then you can consider seeing a dermatologist.
