Is lemon good for hyperthyroidism?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Yes. Lemon blocks the antibodies that stimulate the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone, hence normalizing an overactive thyroid.

I'm really concerned about my mother's thyroid test results and was hoping you could help me understand them. Her T3 reading is 2.79 ngml, T4 is 22.1 ugdl, and TSH is 0.015 uIUml. Does this mean there's something wrong with her thyroid? Also, we did a sugar test, and her fasting glucose level was 118, and post meal it was 175. Is this enough to diagnose diabetes? I'm worried and just want to make sure we're taking the right steps.

What happens if I miss my thyroid medication one day?

Levothyroxine has longer half-life, so a person would not have much effects if you miss one dose. Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

I'm 42 and my blood sugar is at 164. My feet have this burning sensation, and I've been feeling really weak. What could be causing this, and what can I do to feel better?

Your blood sugar level of 164 indicates uncontrolled diabetes, which can lead to symptoms like burning feet and weakness. To help manage your symptoms, I recommend taking Metformin 500mg twice daily before meals to control your blood sugar levels. Additionally, you can take Vitamin B12 supplements to help with the burning sensation in your feet. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
