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 17, around 72 kg, and have male breasts. Not sure if it's gynecomastia or just chest fat since I'm on the heavier side. Surgery isn't an option for me can this be treated with medication? It's been like this for 3 years and really affects my confidence. Are there any non-surgical solutions?

I was diagnosed with thyroid issues back in 2008, and my TSH level was 5.2. Initially, I was on 75 mcg of thyronorm for a year, and then my TSH level dropped to 3.1, so my doctor changed my dose to 50 mcg. I've been taking that ever since. I recently got my TSH checked again, and it's now 2.39. My doctor suggested I stick with the same dosage. Is that alright? I'm feeling tired all the time, and I'm wondering if it's the dosage or something else entirely. Can you give me some advice?
Since your TSH level is currently 2.39, which is within the normal range, it indicates that your current dosage of 50mcg of thyronorm is appropriate for you. However, feeling tired all the time could be due to various reasons, including thyroid issues or other health conditions. Considering your symptoms of persistent tiredness, it would be advisable to discuss this with your doctor. They may want to evaluate other factors such as your T3 and T4 levels, as well as assess for any other underlying causes of fatigue. Additionally, they may consider adjusting your medication dosage or investigating other potential reasons for your fatigue. In the meantime, make sure you are maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, balanced diet, and adequate sleep. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms, do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
