Why am I suddenly gaining weight with PCOS?

I've been gaining weight suddenly , I have had PCOS for 4 years now but suddenly last year I started gaining weight , i changed from 58kg to 68 kg in just a year or so . I've not changed by diet much but still I am gaining weight, and when I try to exercise I am getting really short of breath , I can't even exercise the most simple things

Answered on 10th Sept '24

The weight gain could be due to your PCOS which can produce imbalances in hormones and influence metabolism. The shortness of breath accompanying exercise could indicate poor fitness or be a symptom of an underlying health problem. A gynecologist's visit is needed for a full assessment and advice on how to handle your PCOS and weight issues. In the meantime, try gentle exercises like walking and focus on a balanced diet to help improve your health.

I have high sugar and have low sodium

Male | 65

People should be careful of consuming too much sugar and too little sodium as that can cause them to feel tired, unable to think properly, and generally weak. The sugar levels could rise due to diabetes while the sodium might be reduced through sweating excessively or taking some specific medication. To manage high sugar, one must eat healthily in addition to taking the drugs that have been prescribed for them. A person with low sodium can increase the amount of salt that they take or use drugs which should be administered under strict medical supervision.

Hi, I am Male 32 years old, I suffer from Hashimoto, and recently did some other blood tests. My total bilirubine level was 2, (direct was 0.2 and indirect 1.8) I have normal ALT, AST, LDH and GGT, also a normal ultrasound( no problems where found on ultrasound). My Cholesterol was also very high (300) and LDL 230. Should I worry about the liver? SHould I start statin for my cholesterol and could my high colesterol be related to hashimotos?. My height is 180 CM and wight for the moment 75 KG. I have been overweight for many years. Max weight wa 90 kg

Male | 32

Your bilirubin is a bit high but your liver enzymes as well as the ultrasound tests are normal which is good news. High cholesterol can go with Hashimoto's - your thyroid problem. Looking at your LDL levels, it might be good to start taking a statin so that you can reduce this kind of cholesterol in your body. It will also help if you work on your weight and try living healthy.

I'm very skinny. I eat a lot but still I don't gain any weight

Male | 16

One potential reason is that you have a fast metabolism. Your body burns through calories very quickly, which can make it difficult for some people to gain weight. Other potential causes may include hyperthyroidism or problems with malabsorption. You should consult with a dietitian or nutritionist who will assist in creating a meal plan that helps increase your calorie intake healthily.

I am 28 years old and I am taking steroids tablet..can it have side effects???

Female | 28

Steroids can impact your body ne­gatively. Common side effe­cts include weight gain, acne bre­akouts, mood fluctuations, and sleeping difficulties. This happe­ns because steroids inte­rfere with natural functions within your system. We­ight gain and acne result from hormonal changes cause­d by steroids. Mood swings and insomnia occur when steroids disrupt che­mical balances regulating emotions and sle­ep cycles. If expe­riencing these issue­s, consult your doctor immediately.

Your vitamin D might be a little low. If you don’t get enough sunlight, have a diet low in certain nutrients, or suffer from some medical conditions, you may feel tired, have aches and pains, or weak bones. You can add fish and eggs to your meals more often, spend time outside, or take supplements with this vitamin to increase its level in the body. You should consult your healthcare provider for more information.

Doctor mujhe bhukh ni lgti jldi jldi fever aata h ser m jyda dard rhTa h sinus hai ellergy h pcod h kbhi kbhi bhut chkkar aata h

Female | 22

A few common symptoms, like loss of appetite, periodic fever, and sinus pain, are severe. Such signs could probably be associated with an allergic reaction to something in the air, sinus, or PCOD. One common cause of allergic reactions might also be the frequent inhalation of dust or consuming some food. Drink a lot of water and eat a balanced meal. Besides staying healthy, other important tips are to try to get as much rest and release stress as possible. If these symptoms recur, see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

My vitamin d3 test results are 6.4 respectively ,what is the medixation or injection that i should take to improve my d3

Male | 26

Your vitamin D3 level is lower than normal. Vitamin D3 deficiency can give you fatigue and weakness besides bone pain. It often happens when your body lacks exposure to sunlight or to some foods that are rich in vitamin D. For treating this condition, it is advisable to take vitamin D3 supplements that are prescribed by your doctor.

How to increase my hormone level

Male | 18

If your hormone levels are not where you would like them to be, this could lead to feelings of fatigue as well as irritability. A lack of sufficient rest, stress, or an improper diet are all potential causes behind having low hormonal amounts within the body. To create higher hormone amounts within the body: reduce stress through relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises; aim for at least 8 hours of sleep each night; eat foods that are high in healthy fats like avocados and nuts while also being good sources of protein.

Why am I loosing weight even though I eat a lot? Other times I take appetite stimulants and after I gain weight, I loose it within a week or two. Is this normal? Because I actually eat a lot

Female | 27

People associate eating more and suffering from weight loss with potential problems. Some reasons include a fast metabolism, thyroid issues, diabetes, or stress. People who consume appetite-causing agents may appear to temporarily gain weight; however, a quick reduction in body mass could indicate a possible underlying cause. In response to this, continue to consume a balanced diet, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, and get checked by a medical professional.

Your potassium levels are slightly high, but there's no need to worry. High potassium levels in your body might not cause any symptoms, but a weak or irregular heartbeat could be a sign of it. Possible causes include diet, certain medications, or kidney problems. To lower your potassium level, you can try changing your diet or consult your doctor for advice.

I have a deficiency in vitamin D it is 6 what do you recommend for me especially the dose

Female | 10

Your Vitamin D level of 6 is quite low, and it's important to address this. Usually, doctors recommend a high dose of Vitamin D supplements, often around 50,000 IU once a week for a few months, followed by a maintenance dose. However, it’s best to consult an endocrinologist for the right dosage and treatment plan for your specific needs.
