Question 1

I'm looking at these numbers on my health report and I'm a bit concerned. My GGT level is 130, which I know isnt great. I dont drink, and I try to keep a fairly healthy lifestyle. I had a baby about a year ago and recently recovered from Covid. Also, my T4 level is showing as 3.8, which seems low, and my Vitamin B12 is high. Could this be from the postnatal vitamins I was taking, which I've stopped now? Id really appreciate your advice on what could be going on.

Accepted Answer

GGT level of 130, as it may indicate liver stress or bile duct issues, potentially related to postpartum hormonal changes, COVID-19 infection, or other factors, and also review your thyroid function, as a low T4 level of 3.8 may suggest hypothyroidism, although your Vitamin B12 levels are high, likely due to postnatal supplements get s liver function tests, thyroid antibody tests, or an ultrasound, to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Question 2

I've got this hard lump behind my right nipple, and when I squeezed it, this yellow pus-like stuff came out, and now the lump seems smaller. It's weird because it only seemed to be on my right side, but I tried squeezing my left nipple too, and some liquid came out, which kinda hurt. I'm just wondering if this is normal or if there's something I should be worried about?

Question 3

I'm feeling this weird bulging sensation in my throat along with really deep sleep and a lot of tiredness. My blood pressure feels low, and my hands are shaking a bit. I'm pretty concerned and not sure what to do. Any advice on what could be going on or how to handle this?

Accepted Answer

These symptoms could be indicative of hypothyroidism. I recommend consulting a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, you can take Levothyroxine (brand name Synthroid) at a dosage of 25-50 mcg daily to help regulate thyroid hormone levels and alleviate symptoms. Additionally, ensure you are getting enough rest, staying hydrated, and eating a balanced diet to support overall health.
