General Physician•Sri Ganganagar

If your hypothyroidism is well controlled by proper dosage of tab. Thyroxine then the cause may due to deficiency of vitamin b12 and vitamin d3.
Check them and revert me reports.
Thereafter contact me on line by paid audio consultation.

Raised hb could be due to a lot of causes like lung disease, liver disease, polycythemia, renal issues, smoking etc. When the hb increases blood becomes more thick and the flow is slowed down which could result in stroke, eye problems, raised bp etc. Please consult a physician or hematologist.

lybrate-user ji, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. In hypothyroidism lipids do get disturbed. Once tsh is well controlled, there will be positive effect on lipids too. However, with such high ldl there is a need for taking a statin like rosuvastatin for a few months. Tsh needs to be maintained around 3 to 4 mu/l for being symptoms free. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.

lybrate-user ji, thanks for the query.
Madam with tsh 0.014 mu/l you have gone in to drug induced hypothyroidism. Tsh needs to be around 3 to 4 mu/l to remain in control & free from symptoms of that condition. Please let me know what are the t3 & t4 levels now or when tsh was noticed to be low? It is clea that your current dosage needs to be reduced 37.5 mcg per day. Then check tsh (preferably full thyroid hormone) again after 6 weeks. If you have any questions please do come back. Please te...more

What will happen if I left untreated the transient heart flutters caused by excessive gas in hyperthyroidism?

General Physician•Kolkata

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.

The dever and other symptoms that one gets after taking covid vaccine are quite common you can take fever reducing tablets which usually are given after the vaccination. As regards the levothyroxine dosage, that should be taken as usual. There is no change. Thanks.

Endocrinologist•Thrissur

Increased pulse rate and palpitations could be due to increased thyroid hormone synthesis. You need to check your tsh, free t3 and free t4 along with sodium, potassium and calcium. It could also be related to anxiety.
