Asked for male, 50 years
Hello, as you said your sugar level and weight both are under control, there is no worry about that.
But worry is about side effects of metadose tablets.
It can cause sugars to go down or lactic acidosis.
So be sure about these side effects and check your sugar regularly. If sugar is low, then dose of metadose tablet must be reduced.
Also check your abg to find out acidosis.
Second thing is check your daily calorie intake. If you are having less calories, you may feel weak and dizzy.
One of the above tests will find out your problem.

All food items are safe in thyroid disorders. No food should be avoided. Exercise has no link with thyroid dysfunction.
Asked for male, 20 years old from Malappuram
Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the question.
Based on your description there could be some problem with your thyroid gland. But if the doctor examining has not found anything serious, then there is no reason to worry about. In hypothyroidism particularly due to Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, the gland may have grown a bit or become nodular or firm. But there is unlikely to be a growth towards chest. Still if you are feeling so strongly, ask your your doctor to get an ultra sono graphy done, that will clarify your doubt. Once the condition is confirmed or clear, then further line of treatment can be decided. Thanks.
Asked for female, 20 years old from Indore
Mr. Lybrate-user, disturbance purine metabolism produces excess uric acid. Normal uric acid levels in female are 2.4 to 6 mg and in male 3.4 to 7 mg
increased uric acid may be produced because derangement in purine metabolism. This is called primary uricemia. Seconday increase in uric acid may occur due to disease of kidneys, certain chemotherapeutic drugs, diabetes or acidosis can cause increase in uric acid. Elevated uric acid does not produce problem in every one, only 20% people suffer with gout. In some with gout uric acid may not be high.
Gouty arthritis is the main manifestation of hyperuricemia. Gout is painful swelling of joints, great toe is first to get involved, other joints may also get affected. It is very painful condition especislly in acute attacks. Itcan only be controlled, there is no cure.

यह डायबिटीज मेलिटिस में ग्लूकोज के स्तर को कम करने में बहुत मददगार होती है। सेम की फली में आयरन, कैल्शियम, मैग्नीशियम, फास्फोरस और विटामिन 'ए' पाया जाता है। डायबिटीज में एक मुठ्ठी सेम की फली को थोड़े से पानी में उबाल लें। ठंडा होने के बाद इसे फिज्र में रख दें। आप स्वाद बढ़ाने के लिए इसमें ताजा नींबू की कुछ बूंदे मिला सकते हैं। इस मिश्रण को दिन में तीन बार भोजन से पहले लें। यह बहुत ही हल्के ग्लूकोज की चाय है।
Health Query
Nothing to worry, homoeopathy is the permanent solution for hypothyroidism. Is there any family history of thyroid problems? Better to avoid cabbage and cauliflower along with medicines.

Diabetes features as one of the most common ailments in the contemporary times. Mostly assumed as a congenital disease, diabetes is growingly targeting different age groups and often the outburst of diabetes is mostly unmapped. Diabetes is mainly spurred by the presence of high blood sugar content in the patient's blood. In cases where insulin, the sugar absorbing hormone, is not produced normally, the patient becomes more prone to diabetes. Many attribute this phenomenon to the changing lifestyles of the people and their food choices. In clinical terms, however, diabetes is said to be triggered off by the destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the body.
Besides the genetic susceptibility, there are a variety of causes that result in diabetes:
- Obesity and physical inactivity: An imbalance between calorie intake and the burning of the same often results in the storage of excess sugar. This aggravates the risks of cardiovascular diseases. The food and lifestyle choices are directly related to the phenomenon.
- Abnormal glucose production by the liver: Normally the pancreas secretes glucagon when the natural percentage of insulin is low and stimulates the liver to produce glucose which is then released into the bloodstream. But under certain conditions, the glucagon level is already high in some people. In such cases, the liver produces glucose thus increasing the risk of diabetes.
- Beta cell dysfunction: The beta cells are responsible for the secretion insulin in your body. In case the beta cells stop functioning normally, a medical condition called insulin resistance arises. Under this condition, your body cells stop responding to the insulins secreted and consequently, the glucose content increases thus causing diabetes. Various endocrine diseases contribute to the malfunctioning of the beta cells.
- Medicines and chemical toxins: Often certain medications like diuretics, anti-seizure drugs, psychiatric drugs, and drugs to treat HIV may lead to the worsening of the beta cell functions and cause diabetes.
Diabetes can be medically treated as well as its adverse effects can be assuaged by ushering in a few lifestyle changes:
- Periodically checking your blood sugar levels
- Taking adequate dental care often keeps the blood sugar levels in control
- Regularly exercising and being physically active
- Avoiding junk food and food with high glucose content
- Consuming relevant drugs prescribed by the doctors
- Being wary of the side-effects in cases of organ transplantations.
If you wish to discuss any specific problem, you can consult a doctor.
Asked for male, 6 years old from Mumbai
Hi
First : medicines are mandatory.
Otherwise you might have weight gain,muscle ache, sleep and anxiety issues as well as reproductive and cardiac issues later.
You need to get an USG neck done and an FNAC USG guided of thyroid gland.
FT3/FT4/TSH
If you have already done these tests Share on lybrate I can help you better.
Any history of alcohol intake /fatty food /sugary food
How much exercise do you get done every day?
Ideally you should be doing a good mix of cardio ,weights and crossfit exercises to keep you healthy Together with a balanced diet with optimum healthy fat protein and carbs.
Avoid deep fried fatty food and fast food.
No soft drinks /sugary drinks.
I am outlining food you should avoid or restrict in Hypothyroidism.
It's important you maintain your body weight exercise regularly.Weight gain increases thyroid hormone requirements.
Avoid cruciferous group of veggies like cabbage and broccoli.
Avoid soya bean in all forms.No soya ,nugget,chunk,tofu or milk.
Limit their intake:
Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, turnips, and bok choy. Cooking the vegetables can reduce the effect that cruciferous vegetables have on the thyroid gland. Limiting your intake to 5 ounces a day appears to have no adverse effect on thyroid function.
Decrease gluten intake from processed food.
Always try whole grain varieties of cereals which is rich in fibres and help improve bowels (Take your thyroid replacement medicine several hours before or several hours after food rich in fibres .Otherwise problem with absorption of hormone.
20 to 35 gram of fibres daily from all sources.
Avoid excessive fatty (deep fried)and sugary food as hypothyroidism causes your metabolism to slow down &weight gain.
Avoid highly salted food,chips,pickles,sauces as they
contain large amount of sodium
.Hypothyroidism puts you at risk of high BP and excess sodium in salt aggravates
Coffee in excess.And coffee with thyroid hormone replacement can prevent absorption.
Alcohol.It is toxic to thyroid gland and prevents hormone production and absorption.
The problems of hypothyroidism gets better with medicines,diet and exercise.
You will start
better as the levels of your hormone normalises.
Initially you need to do the TSH test every 6 weeks till normal TSH then every 3 months
Diet /EXERCISE/Medicines/Sleep/meditation :5 pillars of health needed to live the healthiest
Hope this helps
Let me know.
Take care
