Methimez 10Mg Tablet Health Feed

Dear Ujala ji,
Hyperthyroidism occurs when your thyroid gland produces too much of the hormone thyroxine.
It is commonly caused by:
- Graves' disease: Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder in which antibodies produced by your immune system stimulate your thyroid to produce too much T4. It's the most common cause of hyperthyroidism.
- Hyperfunctioning thyroid nodules (toxic adenoma, toxic multinodular goitre or Plummer's disease).
- Thyroiditis.
The common symptoms i...more

If you are having hyperthyroidism, you should know that anxiety is one of the symptoms. Methimazole is given to reduce the symptoms of hyperthyroidism including anxiety. Don't worry. Please take your medications regularly. If even after starting medication still you feel anxious then consult a psychiatrist.

It may not be correct to induce hypo and go on medication for lifelong and you have to do as your doctor told you

"Walking is a good exercise too, as long as you don't have swelling in your knees or ankles, Gofnung adds. Also, Pilates or gentle yoga can improve core muscles and ease the back and hip pain that can be associated with hypothyroidism. Building muscle can help counter possible weight gain from an underactive thyroid.

You are right logically but your doctor's openion must be having some logic too. Please discuss with him and if not satisfied take second openion from an Endocrinologist.

May be you can try suitable dose to maintain TSH, T3, T4 in acceptable range and remain in remission for longer period. Some times correcting all associated nutritional deficiencies like VIT D, Calcium, Vit B12, Folic acid ,Vit D, HB may help in keeping you in remission for longer years.

The Common side effects are skin rashes, Hair loss, Headache, Pain, Joint stiffness, Nausea, Skin pigmentation, Paresthesia (tingling or pricking sensation) If you have pain it may be muscular.

Lybrate-user ji Thanks for the query.
