I am gaining weight drastically and even after following a proper diet I am not able to lose weight. I am having neurological and other problems due to this. My blood report also shows high fat percentage. What should I do to lose weight? I do not want traditional suggestions like diet or exercise as I have already tried those.

Consider hormonal causes like hypothyroidism or Cushing syndrome. You may also explore options like GLP-1 agonists (e.g., semaglutide) under supervision. Please consult an endocrinologist for targeted therapy.

I have been suffering from a thyroid problem. Yesterday, my test report showed T3 131, T4 7.7, and TSH 4.69. Can you please suggest the status of my thyroid?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I had my full body check up and all the reports were normal except for the TSH test, which showed a value of 6.000 while the normal range is 0.5 to 4.8, which is slightly higher. After seeing this, I found out that I have a thyroid issue. I am eager to understand more about it. Is it bad for my health? Will it last for a lifetime? And how can I get rid of it?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I experienced slurred speech with slight memory loss a week ago. My test report and prescribed medicine are attached. I want advice about future treatments?
