Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a male, 71 yr old. I have a low body temp: 97.3 generally. Stiff neck, muscles and soft tissue. Get headaches which can be debilitating. 1 each 325 mg asprin usually gets rid of the headache. So me times 2 are necessary. Physical activity helps to keep the headaches away. Any thoughts?

General & Family Physician, Dr. Nishad BN's Response
Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to hypothyroidism. So it is better to rule out that by doing thyroid profile test. TSH will be high for this. If it is that then thyroxine supplementation will be helpful to solve the problem. Consultation with a general physician is well appreciated. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
