Hello doctor. My mother is 56 years old and has high blood pressure. Recently, my mother is tired, can't eat or drink anything, every time she eats a little, she feels nauseous, in 1 month she has lost 12kg. My mother went to the doctor and was diagnosed with thyroid disease. After taking the medicine prescribed by the hospital, it got better but only for a few days, then the pain came back. Currently, my mother has numbness in her hands and feet, trembling, nervousness, and can't sleep. The doctor asked me what was wrong with my mother? How to improve?

Hello!
You did not say what the diagnosis of thyroid disease is and the name of the medication. However, according to the description, there is fatigue, weight loss, nervousness, trembling hands and feet... possibly hyperthyroidism syndrome. You should take your mother to see an Endocrinologist for specific examination and advice.
