I'm really worried because my 26-year-old wife has been diagnosed with a thyroid issue, and her TSH levels are at 150, which seems really high compared to the reference range. Can you please guide us on what steps we should take next?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
With a TSH level of 150, your wife's thyroid condition is considered severe hypothyroidism; consult an endocrinologist for personalized guidance, but typical next steps include initiating thyroid hormone replacement therapy (levothyroxine), monitoring TSH levels regularly, and adjusting medication dosages as needed to achieve normal TSH levels,

I've been having nipple erection, and they seem really puffy. I'm worried it might be gynecomastia or something like that. Whenever I wear t-shirts, my nipples stick out and it's super embarrassing. A pulmonologist suggested I take Augmentin 625mg twice a day and Rantac 150mg both after eating. I'm just wondering if this is the right treatment for this problem. Could you give me some advice on what to do?
Nipple erection and puffy nipples can indeed be symptoms of gynecomastia. However, Augmentin (625mg twice a day) and Rantac (150mg after food) are not typically used to treat gynecomastia. Augmentin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, while Rantac is used to reduce stomach acid. For gynecomastia, the treatment approach may vary depending on the underlying cause. It is important to follow up with your pulmonologist or a specialist in gynecomastia for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
