I'm curious about whether it's okay for someone with a hypothyroid condition to drink Ragi malt or Ragi Java. Could consuming ragi millets have any adverse effects on hypothyroidism?

Ragi malt or Ragi Java can be safely consumed by most people with hypothyroidism, but like any food, its best to eat it in moderation. If you consume ragi or other millets frequently, it may be a good idea to monitor your thyroid levels regularly with your doctor and ensure youre getting enough iodine. Ensure a well-balanced diet, and consider reducing your intake of other goitrogenic foods if you are concerned about the impact on your thyroid.

I've been dealing with excessive sweating for the past couple of years, and it's to the point where it feels like I've just had a bath. I've had all the tests done and everything seems normal, but it's really bothering me. Is there something that could be causing this or something else I should be looking into? What could be going on here?

Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, can be quite bothersome. Since your tests are normal, you may consider trying anticholinergic medications to help reduce sweating. One commonly prescribed medication is Glycopyrrolate, which can be taken orally in a dose of 1-2 mg twice daily. Another option is topical application of Aluminum chloride hexahydrate solution, which can be applied to the affected areas at night. It is important to follow up with your doctor to monitor the effectiveness and any potential side effects of these medications.

I'm really worried because during a recent medical check-up, they found nodules about 1-1.5 cm on my thyroid. I honestly don't feel like I have any health issues and have checked my thyroid reports twice and everything, including TCH, is normal. I'm feeling really anxious about this. What could this mean? What should I do next?
