Question

My mom is 57 and has high calcium at 11.1 with PTH levels at 153. The doctor said it's her parathyroid glands and recommended surgery. Is surgery urgent or can we wait and monitor for a while? Are there any medications that could help bring her levels back to normal instead? She's been on BP meds for 3 years but her pressure is mostly under control.

It's important to discuss your mother's specific situation with her doctor to determine the best course of action. While surgery is the recommended treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism, it's not always an urgent situation, and there are other options to consider

Question

I recently found out that I have a thyroid issue, and my TSH level is 89.90. My doctor advised me to take 50 MCG of Thyronorm every morning, just one tablet a day. I'm really concerned about whether this is the right treatment for me. Also, I have a 7-month-old baby, and I'm worried if it's safe for me to take Thyronorm while nursing. Is my condition something I should be seriously worried about, or is there another treatment option that might be better? I'm 28 years old and would really appreciate some guidance.
