I'm a thyroid patient and have been on medication for 8 to 10 years. Lately, I've been feeling like there's a lump in my throat, and I often get breathless, mostly in the evenings. Whenever I do any hard work, my breathing gets faster. I'm not sure what's going on. Could you help me figure out what might be wrong?

Hey, I'm kind of worried about my vitamin levels and wondering if it's okay to take vitamin D and B12 supplements at the same time. My recent test showed my vitamin D is at 7.3 ngml and vitamin B12 is at 89 pgml. Do you think I should start taking supplements? If so, can you recommend any specific ones that might help?

With your low Vitamin D (7.3 ngml) and borderline low Vitamin B12 (89 pgml) levels, taking supplements together is safe, but consult your doctor to confirm; consider Nature Made Vitamin D3 2000 IU and Jarrow Formulas Methyl B12 2500 mcg, but ensure you follow the recommended dosages and monitor your levels regularly.

I'm really curious about something. I had surgery for a benign pituitary macroadenoma back in 2014, and I've been on cabergoline 0.25mg once a week since then. I just had a baby, but my lactation seems to be completely suppressed. Do you think it might be okay to stop taking the medication for a bit to see if I can start producing milk? Also, how long does the effect of the cabergoline stay in your system if I stop taking it?

It may take one week to one month to restore the normal lactation after stopping the drug
