Should I Be Concerned For The Pain Under The Right Rib Cage And Is It True That Antacids, Iron And Calcium Should Not Be Taken Within Four Hours Of Taking Levothyroxine?
I am taking thyroid medication, Levothyroxine. The instructions say not to take antacids within 4 hours. I thought it also said not to take calcium. Later I read not to take iron within 4 hours.. Is it all of these?
One more question. I sometimes get a pain deep inside on my right side just below the rib cage. It is there a couple minutes then goes away. However it sometimes goes away then comes back after a few minutes, maybe several times. It doesn't happen too often, but I am concerned.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Antacids and calcium medicine should not be taken with thyroid medication.
Pain inside the rib case may be because of minute injury or some muscular strain. If it is not so , then consult to your doctor for check up.
Thyroid problem is connected with many factors in physical and mental sphere like stress anxiety, shock, etc. Ant it is curable with proper homeopathic treatment. There is no need to take life long medication for thyroid problem.
It is necessary to understand detail case history for permanent cure.
Homeopathic medicine can be selected after analysis of detail case history. So if you want proper homeopathic treatment for permanent cure then consult to homeopath near by you or contact me. I will send you one case format which you have to sent back to me with answers. After that i can send you medicine accordingly.
I think i can help you and you will be free from this disease.
Have a better health.
