Thyroid

When the thyroid receives thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary gland it produces

triiodothyronine which is commonly referred to as T3, thyroxine which is commonly known as T4,

and calcitonin. The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain.

The parathyroids are tiny glands that sit up next to the thyroid gland.

yes.

It could be that the thyroid medication is interacting with another medication. If you have an overactive thyroid, that too could be resulting in your hair loss.

The thyroid gland plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism through the production of hormones, primarily thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones influence the rate at which the body converts food into energy, affecting processes such as heart rate, temperature regulation, and overall energy expenditure. An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) can lead to a slower metabolism, while an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) can accelerate metabolic processes. Thus, thyroid function is essential for maintaining metabolic balance in the body.

The parathyroid gland produces parathyroid hormone (PTH), which regulates the blood calcium level. When blood calcium is low, PTH is secreted and stimulates the digestion of bone tissue by osteoclasts, this releases calcium from the bone into the bloodstream. Calcitonin has the opposite effect of PTH, and is released from the thyroid gland when blood calcium is too high.

Ask your Dr. or pharmacist, all medications have different reactions to alcohol

you should not drink any alcohol while taking thyroid medication. Which medication are you taking?

This is a very complicated question.Thyroid med can increase your pulse rate,possibly B/P as well.B/P meds are to lower B/p. You do not say if Fentanyl is oral or patches. Either way, this tends to lower B/P. This can be a problematical situation.

You haven't told me if same doc prescribed all these meds.If you see more than one doc[like hmo or clinic], take ALL meds with you to EVERY appt. If you are using Fentanyl patches you must follow directions VERY PRECISELY!

Best bet: Make an appt and take all meds with you. Talk to doc. When yyou get meds, read and keep all info sheets.I keep mine stuck to fridge for ez access, so in case of bad reaction, my husband can just hand them to EMT's

The only safe way to discontinue taking thyroid supplementation is to talk to your doctor first. The body cannot survive without thyroid hormone.

At most labs in the U.S., the normal range is from around 0.5 to 5.5. However some experts are recommending that labs revise the range from .3 to 3.0.

From this yours is low. If the TSH level is below normal, your doctor may determine that you are hyperthyroid (overactive thyroid.). There are more tests and this might not answer your question without know which test was done. Ask your doctor for further information.

The prefix hypo- means that something is below or under the threshold of normalcy. So, hypodensity means that there is an area that appears more diffused when looked at in an x-ray. A hypodensity of the thyroid usually indicates the appearance of a nodule in the thyroid. A needle biopsy is usually performed to determine the status of the nodule.

I don't have an answer for this question, but this is a very important question that needs to be studied. I was on depo-provera for several years. Since I stopped taking it a few years ago, because I was having too many side effect symptoms, even after a few years of not taking it I am still having several of the same symptoms as if I was still taking the depo-provera. I have not yet been diagnosed with a thyroid disorder, but I have also read that there is plenty of evidence to support that depo-provera can effect thyroid testing producing possible false negatives. I have also read about several women that are seeking help trying to find out what is wrong with them even a few years after taking or while taking this contraceptive. Real effective studies need to be done on this correlation, because it is unfair to several women to be swept under the rug and going untreated, as well as way uninformed of what long term, or even short term effects of this drug can really do to you. I even think that the drug companies and doctor's don't even really know either. I also believe that it is way unfair and unprofessional for medical professionals to automatically tell a patient that it is impossible for them to be having problems caused by this contraceptive. Doctors should be listening and reporting this stuff to the FDA every time a patient has a complaint so that this can be effectively studied.

by definition its unlikely to have BOTH hyper and hypo thyroid symptoms. get an endocrinologist and get a thyroid ultrasound

Yes.

it reduces the blood concentration of thyroid hormone and thus the signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism

Yes, and you need special medications for that.

The great majority of thyroid nodules aren't serious and don't cause symptoms. Thyroid cancer accounts for only a small percentage of thyroid nodules.

Yes, thyroid problem is one of the other cause for snoring. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which is released by the pituitary gland. One important function of thyroid is helping the body convert food into energy and heat.

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in the throat. It produces essential hormones known as triiodothyronine and thyroxine. These are like petrol and oil: not enough and things start to rust, the engine starts to splutter and die.

Hashimoto's causes our antibodies to attack the thyroid gland. Healthy tissue is slowly replaced by scar tissue, until the thyroid is unable to produce the required T3 and T4. Sufferers tend to faint quite a lot.

yes..but Other thyroid Hormones like T4, T3 are fat-soluble unlike calcitonin..

It would be highly unlikely. In any case, never exceed or increase your prescription without first consulting your doctor.

IF YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM "THE BABY BLUES" IT COME BE FROM DEPRESSION WHICH MAKES YOU EAT TO COMFORT YOURSELF THEREFORE YOU GAIN WEIGHT

Thyroid Pyroxidase Antibodies mean that there are antibodies in your blood that are targeting thyroid peroxidase (TPO) TPO is located inside thyroid cells. This is a sign that there has been destruction of thyroid cells. The antibodies attack thyroid cells, resulting in thyroid destruction and dysfunction. This results in metabolic imbalance that can eventually, if not treated, can cause death.

Yes, people can live without half of their thyroid. However, most people living with half of their thyroid need to take prescribed daily thyroid medication, as directed by a physician. Thyroid medication helps to replace thyroid hormones that aren't being produced by a fully functioning thyroid gland.

One theory is that the nicotine in cigarettes creates an artificially high metabolism and smoking mask fatigue and lethargy seen in Hypothyroidism. If the smoker quits this masking is removed and they will feel the full effects of hypothyroidism. Smokers with undiagnosed thyroid dysfunction and without proper thyroid hormone treatment then stopping smoking seems to be a metabolic and weight gain. Cigarettes are an appetite suppressant.
