I'm a bit confused about my TSH test resultsit came back at 60, which I know is higher than the normal range of 0.55. I have some symptoms of hypothyroidism, but I'm not sure if they match up with my height, which is 174cm, and my weight is 75kg. Everything else in my tests came back normal. Is this possible? What should I do next?

I'm really concerned about my father. He's diabetic and took Glycomet GP 2 Forte for about 25 days. Then, out of nowhere, his sugar levels dropped drastically. We saw a doctor who told us to give him sweets, and that seemed to help, bringing his levels back to normal. The doctor checked his kidney, liver, heart, and blood pressure, and everything seemed fine. But then at night, he's been feeling strange. He gets this heat in his chest, pain, a metallic taste in his mouth, tension, and sometimes he wakes up suddenly. We've consulted both a general medicine doctor and a diabetes specialist, but we're not sure why he's experiencing these symptoms. Any idea what's going on?

my mom is 47 and has an 80mm colloid nodular goitre should she get surgery for it and are there any risks involved with the procedure

A colloid nodular goiter of 80mm (8 centimeters) in a 47-year-old woman may be a good candidate for surgery, especially if it causes symptoms or grows rapidly. However, the decision to proceed with surgery should be made after a thorough evaluation by a qualified endocrinologist or surgeon, considering the individual's specific situation, medical history, and potential risks
