I'm really concerned about my mom's health. About a year ago, she had some breathing issues, so we went to the nearby hospital. The doctors ran a bunch of heart-related tests like an ECG and a 2D echo, but everything came back normal. Then they discovered she has hypothyroidism and prescribed some medication for that. They also recommended she take Prolomet XL 50 mg. I'm just wondering, is it really necessary for her to be on that medication too? Can we safely stop giving her the Prolomet XL?

View allHey, I just got my THS test results and it shows my thyroid level is at 0.06. Is that normal? I'm kind of worried because I'm pregnant and wondering if this level can affect my pregnancy. Also, any advice on how I might be able to improve it if it's not in the normal range? Would really appreciate some guidance here!
-A TSH level of 0.06 is lower than normal, indicating possible hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid). This condition can affect pregnancy and needs to be managed carefully to avoid complications. Please consult an endocrinologist for detailed evaluation

I've been dealing with excessive sweating for the past couple of years, and it's to the point where it feels like I've just had a bath. I've had all the tests done and everything seems normal, but it's really bothering me. Is there something that could be causing this or something else I should be looking into? What could be going on here?
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, can be quite bothersome. Since your tests are normal, you may consider trying anticholinergic medications to help reduce sweating. One commonly prescribed medication is Glycopyrrolate, which can be taken orally in a dose of 1-2 mg twice daily. Another option is topical application of Aluminum chloride hexahydrate solution, which can be applied to the affected areas at night. It is important to follow up with your doctor to monitor the effectiveness and any potential side effects of these medications.
