I've been feeling dizzy all the time and really weak for the past 15-20 days. I'm diabetic, and my PP is usually around 100, but my fasting varies between 200-250. Im on Piosys 30 mg once daily at breakfast around 8 a.m., Eurepa 0.5 four times a day, Vobit twice a day, and Basalog at 10 units around 10 p.m. I also take CTD for blood pressure. I tried Stugeron for 20 days, but it didnt help. Can you suggest something for the dizziness and weakness? Its becoming a big issue.

View allI'm a 28-year-old woman working a desk job, and I've noticed my TSH level is at 8.67, even though my T3 and T4 are normal. I usually keep a pretty healthy lifestyleI'm vegetarian and consume a lot of milk-based products, plus I swim four days a week. Im 5 feet tall and weigh 50kgs. Recently, though, I've been off track with my diet, eating whatever whenever. I've had high TSH before but managed to lower it through lifestyle changes. Do you think adding a multivitamin could help if I focus on fixing my diet and sticking to regular exercise? Would love to hear your thoughts.

I've had a benign carotid body tumor on the left side of my neck for 4 years now, about 30x29 mm in size. I didn't go for surgery and have been managing it with ayurvedic treatment to prevent it from growing. I'm also exploring homeopathy. Sometimes I get palpitations and pain, but only when I have colds or coughs. Should I be worried about these symptoms or consider other treatment options?
Given the tumor size and symptoms, re-evaluation by a head and neck surgeon is advisable despite alternative therapies.
