What does thyroid hair loss look like?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Hair loss may develop slowly with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. You won't necessarily notice patches missing or bald spots. Instead, your hair may seem thinner all over. You lose between 50 and 100 hairs from your head each day.

View allI've been having some weird symptoms and I'm just trying to figure out what's going on. So yesterday, right after I left work, I started sweating a lot, and then I got super hungry and felt really weak. I bought some peanuts to eat, but swallowing them was tough, you know? I just felt so tired. I managed to drive about a kilometer, but then I wasn't feeling right, so I stopped at a shop and had some mosambi juice. I'm around 68 kg in weight and 54 in height, and I've been swimming like three to four days a week for the last couple of months. My office is about 45 km from home, and I usually drive there. My work hours are from around 10:30 in the morning until about 9 at night. I'm just trying to understand what's going on with me. Any idea what the issue might be?
Your symptoms of sudden sweating, hunger, weakness, difficulty swallowing, and fatigue, especially after a long day at work and a 45km drive, could be indicative of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), dehydration, or exhaustion, possibly exacerbated by your intense swimming routine and long working hours, so consider consulting a md medicine to rule out any underlying conditions and discuss strategies for managing your energy levels and overall well-being.

I'm 40 years old and I did a blood sugar test last week. My fasting was 124 and my postprandial (pp) was 97. I'm trying to understand why my fasting level is high since I'm not on any diabetes medication. I ran for 40 minutes just before doing this check for my fasting sugar, and I was sweating by the time I reached the lab. Could this have affected my sugar reading?
decrease in kidney size can be a good sign, but it's essential to understand the context. _Interpretation_ 1. _Variation in measurement_: The 0.9cm difference in kidney size might be due to variations in measurement techniques or equipment between the two diagnostic centers. 2. _Spontaneous improvement_: In some cases, a decrease in kidney size can indicate spontaneous improvement or resolution of an underlying condition, such as a cyst or inflammation. 3. _No cause for concern_: Since all other parameters are normal, and you're not experiencing any symptoms, this decrease in kidney size might not be a cause for concern. _Recommendations_ 1. _Consult your doctor_: Discuss the ultrasound reports with your doctor to determine the best course of action. 2. _Monitor kidney function_: Regularly monitor your kidney function through blood tests (e.g., serum creatinine, eGFR) to ensure there are no underlying issues. 3. _Follow-up ultrasound_: Schedule a follow-up ultrasound in 6-12 months to monitor any changes in kidney size or function. _When to Seek Immediate Attention_ 1. _Severe symptoms_: If you experience severe symptoms, such as flank pain, hematuria, or fever. 2. _Abnormal kidney function_: If your kidney function tests reveal abnormal results. 3. _Rapid changes in kidney size_: If you notice rapid changes in kidney size or function.
