What Causes Slightly High Temperature During Nights?

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Yes, it looks like that its thyroxine.

Thyroxine causes a same symptoms as you are having.

Elevated level of thyroxine can cause higher catabolism and makes brain hyperactive.

I suggest you to take your thyroid function test done. It consist of T4 T3 and TSH. According to laboratory results various treatment modalities can be adopted.

Various anti thyroid drugs are available and treatment can be adopted based on the laboratory reports.

If necessary thereafter iodine thyroid scan can also be done.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
