Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a patient with hypothyroidism. My TSH level is 449.65 µIU/mL higher than the normal range. The T4 range is 4.47 ug/dL. I want to know that can I take pre-workout supplements? Due to my thyroid, I feel unable to get up early in the morning. I go to the gym daily and follow a complete diet, but I think stressed and tired when I try to get up in the morning.
Please suggest whether pre-workout is helpful or not.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It is always better to stop using such supplements as they can cause alterations in the body's metabolism in a negative manner.
Please see a physician to correct hypothyroidism as you may need medication.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I take thyroid medicines. Last year, the TSH level was 699 µIU/mL, but I covered the range with the help of drugs, gym, and diet. Then, the TSH level reached 150 µIU/mL, but suddenly, I started to gain weight again.
Please suggest to me what I can do to get rid of this problem because I feel weak the whole day.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I suggest you stop using those pre-workout powders and change your diet; avoid cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. And recheck thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in two weeks.
Thank you.
