Hello,

Thanks for writing to HealthCareMagic, I am Dr Muhammd Ahmad, I have closely read your question and I understand your concerns, I will hereby guide you regarding your health related problem.

Your problem in my opinion is drug related, when your levels are down the body is some what used to low levels and gets adjusted accordingly when suddenly the level starts getting up, the body can not coup up with the suddent surge in the hormone level and one might have some problems like weight loss, sweats, anxiety, palpitation even having problem in swallowing, usually these problems get settled down as the body gets used to the new levels of the hormone and a person starts feeling normal.

I would suggest you not to panic let the body get used to new hormone levels and then see how things settle down for you.


I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask,otherwise close the discussion and rate it.

Regards.
