Question 2

I'm really concerned about my weight. I'm quite obese at the moment and really need to drop around 10 kg quickly. With my height at 5 feet 2 inches, I'm curious, what's the ideal weight I should aim for? Could you suggest some effective ways to get there?

Accepted Answer

It seems you're experiencing chronic constipation and using Eldoper (Loperamide) to manage symptoms.

_Eldoper's Impact on the Liver_

Loperamide is generally considered safe, but long-term use can cause:

1. Liver enzyme elevation
2. Rare cases of liver damage

_Approach to Address the Issue_

1. Consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation.
2. Discuss alternative treatments, such as:
    - Fiber supplements
    - Laxatives (e.g., Psyllium, Bisacodyl)
    - Probiotics
    - Bowel habit modification
3. Consider colonoscopy or other diagnostic tests to rule out underlying conditions.
4. Monitor liver function tests (LFTs) regularly if you continue using Loperamide.

_Additional Tips_

1. Increase fiber intake through diet (fruits, vegetables, whole grains)
2. Stay hydrated
3. Establish a regular bowel routine
4. Avoid relying solely on Loperamide for symptom management

Question 3

I'm experiencing some irritation in my throat, and I just got my thyroid levels checked. It turns out my TSH is really high, around 1016, but my T3 and T4 levels are normal. I'm not sure what this could mean. Can you tell me what this condition is and what kind of treatment I should consider?

Accepted Answer

it can be subclinical hypothyroidism

I'm feeling a bit concerned because ever since I recovered from COVID, I've been super thirsty and really hungry all the time. I've started doing some exercise and going for walks. Could that be causing these issues, or might it be related to my recovery?

Once get your Diabetic and Thyroid profile done if they turn out to be normal you are perfectly healthy.
