Question 1

I'm dealing with gynecomastia, and it's become a real struggle for me over the last six years. My chest fat feels huge and it's super uncomfortable. What can I do to reduce it?

Accepted Answer

Surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.

Question 2

I'm dealing with thyroid issues and I've been drinking hot lemon and honey water in the mornings to help with weight loss. But now I'm really unsure if I should be taking my medication first thing instead. What would be the best order to do this?

Accepted Answer

For thyroid patients, it is important to take medication on an empty stomach and wait at least 30 minutes before consuming any food or beverages. Therefore, it is recommended to take your thyroid medication first thing in the morning with a glass of water, and then wait at least 30 minutes before drinking your hot lemon and honey water. This will ensure optimal absorption of the medication.

Question 3

I've been taking metformin, and now I'm noticing these skin rashes that seem like an allergic reaction. Is there another medication I could try instead of metformin?

Accepted Answer

If you are experiencing allergic reactions to metformin, an alternative medication that can be considered is "Glipizide". The usual starting dose of Glipizide is 5 mg taken orally once daily. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.

Why am I so thirsty all of a sudden?

Thirst is normally just the brain's way of warning that you're dehydrated because you're not drinking enough fluid. But excessive and persistent thirst (known as polydipsia) could be a sign of an underlying problem such as diabetes.
