Suggest Treatment To Overcome Tobacco Addiction
Hi there,
A month ago i was diagnosed that i have Hyperthyroidism and i am on neo-merczole medicine, i am feeling fine day by day but i am addicted to chewing Gutkha tabacco since 10 years that triggers the symptoms of Hyperthyroidism again like headache, losing concentration, drowsiness and other symptoms. Please help me if there is a medicine or any other way to leave this bad habbit.

You should keep yourself busy in other activities of your hobby and avoid company of people who use to chew tobacco. You should chew sunflower seeds to avoid addiction. Go for nicotine replacement therapy as in nicotine skin patches and chewing gums that will reduce the urge to chew tobacco. Visit addiction medication specialist and get blood levels monitored and start treatment accordingly.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
