Hello, thanks for the query.
Please explain what is the level (7.95 uiu/l) you are referring to? Whether it is tsh or any other hormone. If it tsh then she has sub-clinical hypothyroidism, which invariably does not require any treatment. Please also let me know what are the symptoms she has related to thyroid gland? Thanks.

I suggest do not change the medicine from metoprolol to telmistatran 40 because by this your blood pressure become elevated sir. Continue the same medication sir.

Asked for male, 42 years old from Delhi

I am a 41 years old male. Since last few months I am having problems having regular erections and maintaining an erection for long enough time required for sexual intercourse. My height is 5 ft. 7 inches and weight is 70 kgs. I am taking the following medications for my BP, cholesterol and thyroid problems: Natrilam 5 mg once a day, Roseday10 once daily and thyronorm 37.5 Mcg once daily. My cholesterol is normal since the last 4-5 months but the Dr. Is insisting that I continue Roseday10 for few more months and then shift to roseday5 for another few months before stopping cholesterol medication. My thyroid profile is also normal since the last few months but since my tsh is around 2.5 the Dr. Has asked me to continue with thyronorm 37.5 and shift to thyronorm 25 once the tsh value drops to under 1.Actually I am a regular runner and run for 1 hr a day for 4 days a week doing around 11-12 kms each time. Plus I also play tennis regularly. But since due to thyroid related lethargy.

First, you are hugely mistaken if you think the correct treatment for cholesterol and thyroid problems is to stop treatment after they return to normal. You seem to be prejudiced against modern medicines. Both these problems are chronic diseases and hence, require treatment lifelong. Your doctor is just trying to avoid an argument with you and just urging you to continue the medications for your own good health. You somehow do not seem to trust him. You can refer to any medical guideline online ...more

Asked for male, 57 years old from Kottayam

I am 54 year old male started for hypertension in 1993 and later in 2005 it has changed to amlodipine. Now the BP is normal but since last 10 years I have lack of good erection during sexual intercourse and less interest also. Is this due to my present age? Or can this behaviour can be changed by changing medicine?

Dr. Radheshyam Majumdar

MD - Consultant Physician

Libido or sexual incompetence is most disgusting side effects of most antihypertensive drugs. You are to change to telmesarten group with little rejuvinaing medicine some aphrodisac or ageless (apex pharma) 1tab e daily.

Thanks for the query.
Amlodepine does lead to pedal swelling. If it is persistent and trouble some, then you should consider changing the drug. There are better options available. Thanks.
