Hypoglycemia and Blood Pressure:
- Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, does not directly cause high blood pressure.
- The body's response to low blood sugar can lead to temporary changes in blood pressure.
-
Body's Response:
- Stress hormones like adrenaline are released when blood sugar drops.
- This can cause a rapid heartbeat and sweating, potentially leading to a temporary increase in blood pressure.
-
Chronic Hypertension:
- Typically caused by factors such as diet, lifestyle, genetics, or other medical conditions.
-
Recommendation:
- Discuss any symptoms or concerns with your healthcare provider for tailored advice.

I'm currently taking 25mcg thyronorm tablets for my high TSH levels. I'm wondering if I should still take my thyronorm tablet on the morning of my thyroid blood test. Will it mess up the results? What's the best way to handle this?
For a 3-year-old with recurring fever (101F) every 8 hours, without cough, sneezing, or rash: Consider consulting a pediatrician to rule out underlying infections. Ibuprofen (Ibuges ic) help manage fever. Ensure the child stays hydrated with plenty of fluids. Monitor for any new symptoms. If fever persists or worsens, seek immediate medical attention

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been having chest pain and her ECG was abnormal, but her echo and TMT came out okay. Her blood tests showed she has diabetes and her thyroid level was at 10. The doctor gave her meds for the sugar and thyroid issues, but she's still in pain. What could be going on, and what should we do next?
I'm sorry to hear about your mother's continuing chest pain. Given that her ECG was abnormal but the echocardiogram (echo) and treadmill test (TMT) were normal, it's important to explore other potential causes of her chest pain, such as gastrointestinal issues, musculoskeletal problems, or anxiety. Since she has been diagnosed with diabetes and thyroid issues, it's critical to manage these conditions properly, as they can sometimes contribute to chest pain. I recommend a follow-up with her healthcare provider to reassess her symptoms, review her medication regimen, and possibly consider additional tests like a chest X-ray or a consultation with a gastroenterologist depending on her symptoms.
