Suggest An Alternate Medicine To 20 Mg Carbimazole For Thyroid Among Overweight People
Hi I have been diagnosed with an over active thyroid, yet have the symptoms of an under active, I seen my doctor as I was struggling to lose weight yet they have prescribed me 20mg carbimazole? I am worried about taking these as I am already overweight and do not need to gain any more weight
Dear Friend. Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern. You should not start Carbimazole in this way. I would like to see your thyroid profile and also would suggest you to get an USG Thyroid done. Sometimes a mix picture can occur in Thyroiditis. You don't gain weight in Overactive thyroid. Weight gain is a feature of Hypothyroidism.
This is my best advise for you based on available details. Reply with answers of these questions preferably in point wise manner.
Stay Healthy.
