I'm a bit worried about my health and need some advice. Is a urea level of 12 mgdL considered very bad? What kind of medication should I be considering? Also, I'm a non-smoker, I don't drink, and I follow a vegetarian diet. Back in February, my triglycerides were 157, but now they're up to 216. This is surprising since I've lost 7 kgs through exercise and dieting. How could my triglycerides have increased despite the weight loss?

urea is normal To manage triglycerides:
- Dietary changes:
- Reduce carbohydrate intake.
- Increase fiber consumption.
- Choose healthy fats (avocado, nuts).
- Limit sugary drinks and foods.
- Exercise:
- Continue regular physical activity (150 minutesweek).
- Incorporate high-intensity interval training (HIIT).

Just found out I have hypothyroidism with normal T3 and T4 but TSH at 24. My doctor started me on thyroxine 100mcg. I need to get a dental surgery done with local anesthesia soon should I wait until my TSH levels are normal or can I go ahead with the procedure now?
It's generally recommended to wait for TSH levels to normalize before undergoing dental procedures with local anesthesia, as hypothyroidism can affect the body's response to anesthesia and other drugs. Waiting for TSH levels to normalize allows the thyroid hormone levels to stabilize and improves the overall management of the condition

I've been noticing that I'm sighing a lot, like every 5 to 10 minutes I'm taking a deep breath. Occasionally I can't seem to get a full deep breath. This started about 4 days ago and it's got me a bit worried. I don't have any chest pain, and my normal breathing is fine. Do you think this could be an allergy thing, something with my lungs, or maybe even my heart? I'm also yawning frequently. For context, I weigh 80 kg and I'm 169 cm tall. I have hypothyroidism and I'm on 25 mcg of thyronorm. Could any of this be linked?
it might be because of anxiety, kindly reduce your weight and your anxiety
