Question 1

Each time I have lunch, I notice my heart starts beating faster than normal. This happens only after eating food. I am a 53 year old female with a history of thyroid problems. I want to know the reason. Why does my heart beat so fast after eating?

Question 2

I took medicine a few minutes after intercourse, and then my first period started, but it lasted only 1.5 days. After that, I started having daily stomach pain, so I consulted a gynecologist, who advised an ultrasound. The report impression was excess bowel gas. Later, my second period started but was not clear. Today, I feel like my menses should come, but it has not. My gynecologist advised me to take Amycordial syrup and a TSH test. I had also done a pregnancy test before my first period, which was negative. Could you please advise what is happening? Is it possible that I am pregnant?

Question 3

I recently had a full body check up, and some of the results indicate high TSH, high cholesterol, and a few other concerns. I would like to know which specialist I should consult to review my report and provide the best healthcare advice.

I recently underwent a blood check up recommended by a dermatologist for skin issues. My blood report states that my TSH is 11. What may be the cause?

TSH of 11 suggests hypothyroidism, which can cause dry skin, fatigue, and hair loss. Thyroid medication may be needed. Please do the required FT4 and anti TPO test to confirm.
