General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good morning. If I were your doctor, I would advise you not to eat any food from outside if you do. I would then get your stool tested for ova and cyst to rule out an intestinal infection, and treat it if positive. If all are normal, I would not hesitate to go for a thyroid function test for you considering the history of faster heart beats. Further management would depend on the reports of investigations.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
