Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has become problematic. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. Can I lose weight with hyperthyroidism?Doctor's answer:
With hyperthyroidism, it's best to avoid dieting. Wait until the condition stabilizes before considering dieting. Hyperthyroidism itself involves high energy consumption, and patients may experience symptoms like weight loss and fatigue again. When diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, the first priority should be to rest, avoid overexertion, ensure deep sleep, and minimize the use of electronic devices like smartphones and computers. Do not smoke or drink alcohol. Under normal blood tests and liver function, methimazole can be taken orally.
