Check your mother thyroid profile if it is not done in last 3 months. The sodium level should be brought under control. All this symptom can be side effects of any medicine which she is taking.

Asked for female, 27 years old from Thrissur

I am 23 year old, and have very bad asthma problem. Tried many sort of treatment but switched again back to inhalers. Was having problem of eczema & childhood which was treated through allopathic treatment at that time I didn't had asthma problem. But later after shifting to kerala my asthma problem started & used to take inhalers. Wen I was 17 I went for Ayurveda treatment with so much of restricted time table for certain food items for 2 year & I got better at initial stage I got all my allergy on my skin which so hard but doctor was saying thats to get cured with it. & only if I cure the inner allergy I would get better of asthma. I was so thin at that time & we I started curing asthma I also had put on my weight n was happy to get changed with better immunity. But suddenly I got a throat infection which really was under treated n he strictly advised not to take antibiotics which made it return frequently n I had developed a swelling on my leg n wen I went through a blood test I got aso titre so high. Which made me discontinue his treatment n I started taking pencillin400 n reduced d doses n now cured it completely but my asthma had returned severely. Then another blood test developed d problem of hypothyroidism. I started taking thyrox 150 n now d dose of 50. For this after 2 yrs I consulted a homeo doctor which was a nightmare for me as he said asthma is linked with thyroid problem n asked if I had any skin problem I said before I had he then prescribed some medicines n wid in a few days I got a bad itching on my fingers ful flare ups whole over my body oozing n weeping legs n hands I cant even sleep at night due to itching n that doctor was sounding angrily wen I saying my problem. N after 6 months also I dint cured n again went for an allopathic dermatologist n cured it. I just want to know if thyroid n asthma problem is linked n is it compulsory dat if I take treatment for asthma in Ayurveda or homeopathy I will have to face a tough time for my skin. Please doctors do reply. I really want to take your advice n go a head for treatment. Can hypothyroidism can b cured. N asthma also with out a flare ups n allergy break out?

I am taking thyronorm 25 mcg. My tsh value was 3.9 when last tested. Can I reduce the thyronorm dosage.

Endocrinologist•Dharwad

Hello, thanks for the query.
Madam I have seen the query. The tsh value is with in normal limits. Which means the current dosage of levothyroxine (25 mcg) is correct and has to be continued. If you reduce the dosage then tsh value will go up and t4 is likely to down. Another important aspect is that with a bmi (body mass index) is 34.4 kg/sq meter (normal < 23 kg/sq meter), which means you have an excess of almost 26 kg. That needs to be taken care of. Reducing the dosage may increase the we...more

I'm seeing a girl for a prospective matrimonial partner. She is 27 with a height of 5’3” and weight 55 kg. She reported that she has ongoing medication of thyroxine 25 mcg for subclinical thyroid. I want to know how critical is this illness. Whether it has some serious symptoms, and implications and is curable or not. Are there implications for pregnancy complications or possibility of pass it to the child?  she said her hypothyroidism was diagnosed when she had a bit of weight gain and hair fall a couple of years back with tsh levels of 8miu/l. Does tsh levels of 8miu/l indicate subclinical hypothyroidism? Some articles online suggest tsh 8mlu/l as overt hypothyroidism and not subclinical. After that doctor suggested thyroxine 25 mcg. Now her tsh is around 2.5miu/l with the medication.   also, her mother is suffering from hypothyroidism. Is there anything to worry about? Can she live a healthy life with ongoing medication? Are there any dietary restrictions for this or does any other care need to be taken apart from the medication?

She is suferring with subclinical hypothyroidism.
It is not serious condition.
With tab. Of 25 mcg she is well controlled.
Ask her to take this drug empty stomach and nothing except water up to 1 hour.
Donot take cabbage in diet
avoid calcium, iron and soya protein in breakfast.
Check anti tpo test to see auto-immune status.
Go for marriage, as 10 % population is suferring with this problem.

Low levels of thyroid hormone can interfere with the release of an egg from your ovary (ovulation), which impairs fertility. In addition, some of the underlying causes of hypothyroidism — such as certain autoimmune or pituitary disorders — may impair fertility.

Asked for male, 57 years old from Pune

I am 21-year-old female, I have very high pulse rate, mostly above 100, 120 is also normal for me but my metabolism is slow, any healing is slow, no thyroid problem nor diabetic but have pcos. I had to take iron and d3 as vitamin d and hemogram was way below normal. Vitamin d, till I started d3 supplements, was 5.7 and hemoglobin was 6.7 before I took 5 injections and now am taking supplements for the same. Now d3 is 24.35 and 10.9, less but better than before. What is the way forward? Why high pulse but slow metabolism? Thanks.

Hi dear friend.
I noted down your history. Here are the few points I would like to add from my side.
1) your pulse rate was/is high because your hb was/is low. 2) now as it is better than before but still you should take some supplements for vitamin b12 as well. 3) consume diet rich in iron like spinach, beetroot, dryfruits, eggs etc.
4) if all the above is corrected and still pulse is high then need to see for other issues like anxiety.
Thanks and regards.

Hello, thanks for the query.
Madam, I have seen the details. However, you have mentioned only tsh value, nothing about t3 & t4. It is necessary to know those values also. Tsh 4.6 mu/l is not really high. It must be with in the normal range mentioned in your lab report. In uncontrolled hypothyroidism tsh invariably goes uch higher and t4 values also may be low. Please come back with all the values also mention your weight & height. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the quey.
I have seen the query. I am sure your doctor has told you that pentaprazole needs to be taken at last 30 to 40 minutes before breakfast. So please take in that fashiom. As regards taking levothyroxine, it is better if that tablet is taken early morning say around 6 am, because it is necessary to avoid taking any food or drug for almost an hour. Thanks.
