View allI'm really concerned about my mom's health. About a year ago, she had some breathing issues, so we went to the nearby hospital. The doctors ran a bunch of heart-related tests like an ECG and a 2D echo, but everything came back normal. Then they discovered she has hypothyroidism and prescribed some medication for that. They also recommended she take Prolomet XL 50 mg. I'm just wondering, is it really necessary for her to be on that medication too? Can we safely stop giving her the Prolomet XL?

I'm experiencing some weird symptoms lately like fatigue, weakness, hair loss, tiredness, and leg pain at night, along with some muscle pain and a bit of depression. I came across something online that suggests these might be signs of vitamin D deficiency. Could that be true for me? If I want to check, is there a specific test I should go for? Also, since I'm a vegetarian and don't eat eggs, I'm curious how I can naturally boost my vitamin D levels through diet or exercise without resorting to medicine. How long would it typically take to see any changes if I start making adjustments?

My FNAC test showed papillary carcinoma of the thyroid with metastasis. Is surgery the only treatment option available? What precautions should I take until the surgery is done?
Surgery (thyroidectomy) is the first-line treatment for papillary thyroid carcinoma with metastasis; avoid neck trauma or strain and follow up regularly until surgery.
