Mr. lybrate-user Kumar, Thanks for the query.
I get a feeling that I have answered the same earlier. Please understand problems with thyroid gland are related to either hormone (thyroxine) excess - hyperthyroidism & Graves disease or less thyroxine -Hypothyroidism. Since these are hormone related there is no complete cure. If hypothyroidism is there, then hormone needs to be supplemented daily for lifetime. If excess is there as in Grave's then one has to curb the gland activity with anti th...more

Lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query.
Since you are antithyroid drug (Neomercazole, TSH should have gone up a bit more to wards 1.0 mU/L. It is good to know that the USG is normal. You will ave to continue the same treatment for at least 18 to 24 months. Periodically TSH has to be checked. If you have any troublesome symptoms those should be attended to. Tablet Thyrowel has really no role to play in this situation. Thanks.

lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
From the present report it is clear that she has HYPOTHYROIDISM. I really do not understand how it changes from hyper to hypo. It is better if you mention her earlier reports when doctor had said about hyperthyroidism. Plus how long was the earlier drug Neo-mercazole was taken and when was it stopped? It will be really good if you come back with all the information in a private conversation, then I will be able to give specific guidelines and even prescrip...more

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) occurs when your thyroid gland produces too much of the hormone thyroxine.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

In hyperthyroid status you need to avoid iodine containing food like iodised salt etc., The food items like fish, egg yolk etc., you need not stop completely but only avoid excessive consumption. The body looking slim is the nature of the hyperthyroidism. You need to keep the thyroid levels normal to gain weight. As for food take protein containing food like dal, non-veg etc., As for exercises easy and simple one is walking and jogging. Is facility available you can do weight training to build m...more

Hello doctor, I am a 54 years old male. I was detected with hyperthyroidism for the first time when I was about 32 yrs. And was on carbimazole at min. Dose for few years before I happened to see a homeopath whose prescribed medicines effectively controlled my thyroidism. Eventually I didn't require to take any medicines for next few years without any issue before developing the symptoms again with abnormal lab test parameters and severe weight loss. That required me to start carbimazole again at moderate dose to regain my lost weight and continued with the min. Dose to maintain the condition thereafter. About three years back, I started to lose weight again and continued to lose after losing about 10 kg. So I had to increase my dose and followed a diet prescribed by my nutritionist and regained most of the lost weight within few months. Recently about a year back, I started to lose weight again and I increased the dose to offset the weight loss. But a recent lab test shows my tsh level as way too high. I don't remember of having my tsh level ever so high, in fact it was mostly very low, beyond measure. So my doctor obviously asked me to stop the carbimazole immediately for about 2 months before doing the lab test again for the results. My doctor explained that since my hyperthyroidism is a chronic condition which is an autoimmune disorder that might reverse the condition after some years. Well, I have lost more than 10 kg this time too. Please be informed that I am taking vitamin d as well and I use to take that occasionally since last few years. I have also been taking a tablet of nebivolol 5 mg daily to control my high blood pressure for almost 10 years. My cholesterol parameters have been high although the triglyceride is normal for several years but I am not advised for any medicine for that rather I try to follow the restrictions. Please suggest me the course of treatment as well as diet plan and do's and don'ts to regain my weight quickly. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. However, there is no mention of actual TSH and T4 levels and even the dosage of Carbimazole. Based on whatever stated in the details, the reason for high TSH is excessive dosage of Carbimazole . Normal TSH expected to be maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L at which level most of the symptoms related to thyroid conditions are absent.
Another aspect which is very important point is in case of hyperthyroidism in quite a few patients ...more
