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.

View allI recently did a sugar test and my fasting level was 92, not sure if that's okay. After eating, it was 150. I have a family history of sugar problems, so should I be concerned about these numbers and think about seeing a doctor?
Based on your results, a fasting sugar of 92 mgdL is within the normal range, but a post-meal reading of 150 mgdL could indicate prediabetes or early signs of insulin resistance. Given your family history of diabetes, I recommend consulting a doctor for further evaluation and to discuss preventive measures.

I'm a 22-year-old female and I've just been told I have a thyroid issue with my TSH level at 27.72 and anti-TPO at 576 IUml. My doctor only gave me one medicine and didn't offer much else in terms of guidance. I'm gaining a lot of weight and constantly feel fatigued and down. Can you give me some advice on what foods I should avoid or include in my diet? Also, I'm curious about whether Ayurvedic, allopathic, or homeopathic treatments might be most effective for managing thyroid problems. I'm really eager to try and handle this beyond just taking medication. Any insights would be really helpful.
Tanushree, with your high TSH (27.72) and anti-TPO (576 IUml) levels, it's essential to work closely with your doctor to manage your hypothyroidism; to support your treatment, focus on a balanced diet rich in iodine (dairy, fish, and iodized salt), selenium (nuts, seeds), and zinc (oysters, beef), while avoiding soy, cruciferous vegetables in excess, and gluten if you're sensitive; consider complementary therapies like yoga, meditation, and stress management to help with weight gain, fatigue, and mood; as for medication, allopathic levothyroxine (T4) is often the first-line treatment, but some people may prefer ayurvedic or homeopathic approaches, such as ashwagandha, bladderwrack, or thyroidinum, under the guidance of a qualified practitioner.

I'm really confused about something and need your help. So, a couple of weeks ago, I was diagnosed with PCOS and my doctor prescribed me Metsmail and Chirocyst to take after meals. After just a week, I've already lost 2 kg. I've been trying to control my diet during this time, too. Do you think this weight loss is because of the medication or more likely because of my diet changes? I just want to understand what's really having more effect here.
due to food
