Age-Related Macular Degeneration Treatment Health Feed

Heart flutters are related only to hyperthyroidism and not to gastric problems. It is very important to treat underlying hyperthyroidism as, left untreated, it will cause a variety of health problems. If even after treating hyperthyroidism, your heart problem doesn't resolve - it needs to be treated as well; otherwise the condition can deteriorate. It is important to get an ECG done to identify the exact nature of heart problem. If needed, you can have an online consult regarding the same.

Mr Vijay Kumar, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details written. Please tell me what is the current TSH level now and what was it when hypothyroidism was detected? Because your free T4 is quite high. It means there an excess of Thyroxine (probably due to excess dosage of Levothyroxine). Because in hypothyroidism heart rate is slower than normal and there is no palpitation. So please check total thyroid functions and come back, preferably in a private conversation, where I can prescribe...more

Yes you can go for lasik or other more advanced similar laser procedures. No need to worry. After surgery eye sight will not be affected due to your longer screen time of 10-12 hours.

Hello, Thanks for the query.

However, after delivery invariably dosage needs to be reduced after about 6 weeks (after checking the TSH level, it should be maintainned around 3 to 4 mU/L). If dosage is not reduced then TSH is likely to go down to wards hyperthyroidism levels. Since her TSH has gone < 0.1 mU/L, there is a need to reduce the dosage initially by...more
