View allI'm dealing with thyroid issues and I've been drinking hot lemon and honey water in the mornings to help with weight loss. But now I'm really unsure if I should be taking my medication first thing instead. What would be the best order to do this?
For thyroid patients, it is important to take medication on an empty stomach and wait at least 30 minutes before consuming any food or beverages. Therefore, it is recommended to take your thyroid medication first thing in the morning with a glass of water, and then wait at least 30 minutes before drinking your hot lemon and honey water. This will ensure optimal absorption of the medication.

I've been noticing that I'm sweating a lot every time I step outside, and it's happening all day long, even when I'm just sitting under a fan or in an air-conditioned room. I'm starting to get worried about why I'm sweating so excessively. What could be causing this and should I be concerned?
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, can be bothersome. You can try using antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride hexahydrate, such as Certain Dri or SweatBlock. Apply it to dry skin at bedtime and wash it off in the morning. If over-the-counter antiperspirants do not help, you may consider prescription-strength options like Drysol, which contains aluminum chloride. Apply it to the affected areas at bedtime and wash off in the morning. Remember to follow the instructions provided with the product for best results.
