I'm 25, and I've been wondering if there's any way to increase my height now that I've hit this age. Are there any supplements or anything that could help me gain an inch or two?

Focus on maintaining good posture, exercising regularly, getting an adequate amount of sleep, and ensuring proper nutrition. While there are no supplements that can significantly increase height in adults, you can consider taking calcium and vitamin D supplements to support bone health.

I'm really worried because I've been taking methimez 20mg, as prescribed for my hyperthyroidism, but now I've been dealing with hypothyroidism for a year. Should I still be taking the same dose, or is there an adjustment needed? I'm feeling confused and concerned about whether I'm on the right track with my treatment.

What happens if I miss my thyroid medication one day?

Levothyroxine has longer half-life, so a person would not have much effects if you miss one dose. Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
