I've been experiencing some sudden changes lately that have me a bit worried. I've gained weight unexpectedly, and on top of that, I've developed rashes on my hands. My hair is starting to gray, I've been dealing with headaches and acidity issues, and my ability to concentrate and grasp information seems to have reduced. I'm also feeling really fatigued. Could these symptoms be related, and what might be causing all of these changes?

View allMy mom's been dealing with hypothyroidism for about 2 years now, and lately, whenever she gets anxious, her blood pressure spikes, although she's not hypertensive. Since last night, her BP's been consistently high, with systolic ranging from 146 to 156. She's feeling a bit anxious too, and I gave her a 5 mg dose of amlodipine this morning, which brought her BP down to 14698. But it's gone back up again. Can you help us figure out what's going on?
The high blood pressure readings along with anxiety symptoms in your mother could be due to a combination of factors, including her underlying hypothyroidism. In this situation, it would be advisable to add a medication specifically for controlling blood pressure. I recommend starting her on a medication called Amlodipine 5mg once daily. Additionally, it would be beneficial to address the anxiety symptoms with a medication such as Lorazepam 0.5mg as needed for anxiety. However, it is important to monitor her blood pressure regularly and follow up with her healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been on Vitamin D3 and B12 supplements for the last three months, 10000iu and 5000mcg daily. Just got my blood work back, and my GGT level jumped to 111 from under 50. What's going on with that? Should I cut back or stop the vitamins? I'm 50, female, and a bit worried here.
For the elevated GGT level, it is important to address the underlying cause. In your case, since your recent reports have shown a significant increase in GGT levels after starting the Vitamin D3 and Vitamin B12 supplements, it is advisable to stop taking these supplements for now. Additionally, it would be beneficial to avoid alcohol consumption and maintain a healthy diet. To help reduce your GGT level, you can consider taking Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) under brand name Actigall or Urso.

Can diabetics drink milk at night?
It is not always recommended to have milk at bedtime for diabetics. The higher amounts of calories in milk at night can be dangerous to the body.
