I have been treating thyroid for many years, but for the last few months, it has not been well controlled. My medicine dose was recently increased as per my doctor advice. However, I am experiencing mild chest tightness and discomfort most of the time, with no other symptoms.

Uncontrolled thyroid (especially hypothyroidism) can cause muscle tightness, chest discomfort, or anxiety like symptoms. If the chest discomfort is mild and not accompanied by pain, breathlessness, or dizziness, it may be thyroid or muscular related. If persistent, get heart and thyroid levels re evaluated. Make sure you are taking thyroid medicine correctly (empty stomach, same time daily).

View allHi, I am a 21 year old female and have been suffering from PCOD.

I am gaining weight drastically and even after following a proper diet I am not able to lose weight. I am having neurological and other problems due to this. My blood report also shows high fat percentage. What should I do to lose weight? I do not want traditional suggestions like diet or exercise as I have already tried those.

My blood test report has shown some abnormal figures, but I neither consume alcohol nor smoke. What could be the possible cause of this? I have read that heavy workouts at the gym may also cause changes in liver enzymes. My LDH is 375 IU/L, and my TSH is 6.4 mIU/ml. Could you please clarify what this indicates? I am planning to repeat the test in a different lab before consulting a doctor. At present, I do not have any issues with my bowel movements, urine, or food intake. During this period, I was also taking Acutret 10 mg for 10 days, and the test was conducted while I was on this medication. Could this tablet have caused any side effects reflected in my report?
