Question 1

my hormone levels are high. lower neck was sensitive to the touch. ultrasound showed roughness but nothing more. should i see an endocronolgist?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Does your primary care physician think you need one? Would you feel better seeing an endocrinologist? Then see one. Another avenue to investigate is acupuncture and chinese medicine. If you are in a state where there is nothing overtly wrong yet hormone levels are off, chinese medicine and acupuncture can balance you and help reduce hormone levels. Ii have seen it work many times.

Question 2

my a1c is 5.7% but glucose tolerance test is 77mg/dl. what dose this mean? am i at high risk becoming diabetic? i took hormone meds for a long time after endometriosis surgeries and several steroid shots for neck/back stenosis. are those affecting?

Accepted Answer

: With HbA1C of 5.7% (less than 5.7 is normal) and glucose tolerance test of 77 mg% I would say you are NOT pre-diabetic, especially if your fasting blood sugar (FBS) is less than 100. If your FBS is 100 or higher then HbA1C should be rechecked in 3-6 months. Good luck.

Question 3

i am 8 weeks pregnant at the moment & my  hormonal acne is getting worst than ever. it's all over my forehead , cheeks , chin , neck. what can i use ?

Accepted Answer

If it is that bad: U need to see a dermatologist as they can get u on meds that are safe for pregnancy, unfortuneatly most of those do not work as well as the ones that are not safe for preg.

Question 4

does the thyroid  stim hormone test  result  0.0300 mean thyroid is high or low?

Accepted Answer

See below: It implies that the thyroid is hyperfunctioning.  Discuss this with your doctor.

Question 5

i had a thyroid hormone test. my third generation tsh was 6.71. is this high?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Complete the test with  free hormone measurements and thyroid antibodies.  Once you know the full picture, then you can treat.

Question 6

are there any sure signs of hyperthyroidism? what are the chances that high level of stress hormones could cause thyroid to overwork?

Accepted Answer

: Hyperthyroidism can cause weight loss, hair loss, racing heart rate, diarrhea, tremor, shortness of breath,  swelling of the eyes out. There are other conditions that can also cause these symptoms. Bulging of the eye in front can be passed from family members and also can be associated with other things but of the more classic sign of hyperthyroidism. Stress can affect thyroid hormones

Question 7

i would like to know would the thyroid hormone levels be high or low after delivery in a woman?

Accepted Answer

Either way: There is a very common condition called "post partum thyroiditis".  It can cause fluctuations in your thyroid function leading to both high and low hormone levels. Sometimes it requires medication, but sometimes it levels out on its own. You may need to consult with an endocrinologist.

Question 8

what should not eat thyroid stimulating hormone is very high?

Accepted Answer

Hypothyroid: If your TSH is very high, you likely have hypothyroidism.  Changing your diet will not affect your thyroid level, unless you are consuming an excess amount of iodine (excess iodine typically makes thyroid levels lower in the us).

Question 9

how can i treat a high thyroid ? i'm our of my meds. and how can i treat the acne caused by hormones.

Accepted Answer

Elevated TSH?: If your TSH is elevated then you have hypothyroidism. This abnormality may also make acne worse. Please discuss with your doctor as you probably need to go back on your levothyroxine.

Question 10

xanax (alprazolam) helps calm me, a friend told me it's cause i'm already high on thyroid hormones and it's why i don't get high on it. this true?

Accepted Answer

Sedative : Xanax (alprazolam) is a sedative and should calm you. Some people enjoy the way it makes them feel calm and a bit out of it, and begin abusing it. It is an addictive medication and should only be used as directed. Thyroid medication does not make you high. It can cause altered thinking in an overdose, but does not interact with Xanax (alprazolam).
