I'm struggling with some health issues and I'm not sure what to make of them. I've been dealing with wheezing and trouble breathing, along with a dry cough. At first, I tried treatment for GERD, but it didn't help. This has been happening on and off for about 4 years now. What worries me even more is that since last year I've noticed I'm urinating a lot more and it's really diluted, plus I'm feeling dehydrated. My plasma osmolality is 320. Are these signs related to something specific? My kidney, liver, and thyroid functions all checked out normal, and so did my CBC. What could be going on here?

I really need some advice on adjusting thyroid medication. Six months ago, the TSH level dropped from 8 to 6.75, so I thought it would be okay to lower the dosage from 25mcg to 12.5mcg. But now the TSH has gone up to 10.87, and I'm worried. What do you recommend for someone who's 51 years old in this situation? I'm trying to find the right balance here.

Is tea bad for thyroid?

There are different types of thyroid disorders ranging from hypo or hyperthyroidism to thyroid cancer, each needing different diet restrictions. On a general note, research has shown that green tea and black tea (Green > black) both have goitrogenic and antithyroidal properties. On the other hand, few studies have shown that tea can reduce risk of thyroid cancer. More detailed studies are needed in this area. Hence, it is best to avoid tea or take it in moderation along with regular check on thyroid tests.
