Question 1

I've been dealing with hypothyroidism and since taking my medication, my TSH levels have gone down to 1.66 from 6. I'm on 25 mcg of Thyronorm. Should I continue with the meds or is it okay to stop now?

Accepted Answer

s long as your TSH is within the normal range (and considering youre feeling well), it is generally safe to continue the medication.
Always consult your doctor before making any changes to the dosage or stopping the medication. Your doctor will guide you with the best approach based on your individual health needs.

Question 2

I'm pretty confused about my liver test results. My GGT level came back at 58. Does anyone know what that actually means? Is it considered normal, or should I be worried about it? Any insights would be really appreciated.

Accepted Answer

High levels of GGT in the blood could indicate that the enzyme is leaking out of the liver cells and into the blood. This may suggest that there is damage to the liver or bile ducts. GGT levels above 30 IUL in adults could indicate liver problems. High GGT levels can be caused by a number of conditions, including:
Overuse of alcohol
Chronic viral hepatitis
Lack of blood flow to the liver
Liver tumor
Cirrhosis, or scarred liver
Overuse of certain drugs or other toxins
Heart failure
Diabetes
Pancreatitis
Fatty liver disease so consult gastroenterologist for the same

Accepted Answer

Yes, do not unnecessary press the lymph nodes.
They are the organs which filter the infections from the body. These infection causing organisms will be stored in a dormant form in the lymph nodes so pressing it unnecessary is not a good thing.
Secondly, examining oneself 10-15 times is alarming, it can be OCD with hypochrondria which requires medications.
