Report

Hi, I am a male, age 29, six months before, I was diagnosed hypothyroid. Initially my tsh was around 12, doctor started therapy with 12. 5 mcg thyronorm, slowly he increased the dosage to bring tsh back to normal. Now I am on 37. 5 mcg dose with tsh 3.8.using this dose from last 2 months, I am exercising daily, all my hypothyroid symptoms getting better, I am losing half kg every month, before treatment I was overweighted. My lipid profile is also getting better, but my heart is pounding, racing all day, especially after eating, and feeling anxious, is this the side effect of levothyroxine? How much it will take get adjusted for this dose? Should I use any other medication to combat anxiety, heart palpitations? please help me with this problem. I do not believe in homeopathy system of medicine.

Dear lybrate-user,
I note that your hypothyroidism is under good control on 37.5 ug thyronorm. Please continue the same dose. I am glad that you are reducing weight with diet and exercise.
Regarding your palpitation, this can occur if your dose is too much but from your test reports it appears that your dose is ok.
I suggest that you consult me online so that we can come to a clear diagnosis and then proceed. If you send your email id I will send you a proforma to fill up your smptom...more

Dear lybrate-user,
you must understand that if your thyroid functions are under good control with thyrox 100 ug, your weight issue is a different problem. As you are only 38, it is important for you to get your weight down to about 62-65 kg if your height is about 5'5"
you can try a paleo diet (both vegetarian and non-vegetarian paleo diet plans are available on the net). You must combine this with regular active exercise like skipping or brisk walking for about an hour per day. Monitor ...more

Follow this 1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of water first thing in the morning (within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Don't overeat 3. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U should eat whatever your mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is your traditional food. If punjabi eat paratha, if belongs to south then take idli/ dosa e...more

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
It can be the result of heredity, hormonal changes, medical conditions or a normal part of aging. Anyone can lose hair on their head, but it's more common in men. Baldness typically refers to excessive hair loss from your scalp. Hereditary hair loss with age is the most common cause of baldness.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Hello,Thanks for the query.
When one is on adequate dosage of Levothyroxine, then TSH is well controlled and maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L. At that level all the symptoms related to hypothyroidism are well controlled. So unless there is a mention of TSH level, it is difficult to answer your query. Another aspect to be remembered is to check TSH after 6 weeks of regular therapy to see if desired level of TSH is achieved. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. However, there is no mention of certain critical values like TSH, Testosterone, Prolactin. Since you have mentioned about having (or had) prolactinoma, but there is no mention about any medication for that or any surgery.
One more important aspect is your grade 2 obesity with a BMI of 36.35 kgs/Sq meter (ideal body weight 67 to 68 kgs). Which suggests an excess of 37 to 38 kgs. Therefore, unless all the details are clearly state...more

Healthy foods, controlled portion sizes, and regular exercise these are key components to losing weight. But if you have hypothyroidism, your underactive thyroid gland may also play a role.

If hypothyroidism is inadequately treated it can be harder to lose weight, since the thyroid is a large regulator of metabolic function. (weight gain is often the first noticeable symptom of low thyroid.) the most important thing you can do for weight loss and for your overall health is to get ...more
