Why Do I Feel Fatigued and Forgetful?
Hi. I'm a 24 year old male from the UK. I have been dealing with severe brain fog, shortness of breath, palpitations, forgetfulness and I am very obese (200kg). I am very concerned about the fatigue as it's not like me to feel like this. I got a blood test and vitals checked last month and everything is normal except I have mild LVH caused by my weight and my doctor isn't really that concerned. She just said I can reverse it by losing weight, I also have severe iron deficiency without anaemia as my haemoglobin is normal but my iron serum level is 5.4. My vitamin D levels are also very low. My concerns right now is I'm starting to feel stupid everyday and the fatigue is really concerning me. Can you give me some advice please?

I'm glad you reached out about your concerns. The symptoms you're experiencing, including fatigue and cognitive challenges, can often arise from factors like obesity, iron deficiency, and low vitamin D levels. Addressing your weight through gradual lifestyle changes—incorporating healthier eating habits and regular physical activity—may improve your overall well-being and help reverse mild left ventricular hypertrophy. Additionally, consider discussing iron supplementation and vitamin D with your healthcare provider, as these may alleviate your symptoms. It's important to prioritize your health, so don't hesitate to seek further advice from your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.

My wife 40 and I am 54, my elder son is 22, the 2nd one is 18 whereas my daughter is 16. Now my wife expecting in 6th month. Every night she feels too much pain in her arms and lower legs? Due to which She remains crying. What should we do ?
Female | 40
The changes in hormones and weight gain are natural processes that happen during pregnancy, and the victims of these are aches often caused by fluid retention or muscle strain. The activities that will help to ease her aches are gentle stretching, warm baths, and a sufficient amount of water to drink. Rest can help, also trying to put her feet up higher than the rest of her body will provide comfort.

To gain weight in a healthy way, focus on eating more nutritious, calorie-dense foods like nuts, seeds, and whole grains. Regular exercise, especially strength training, can also help build muscle mass. It is best to consult a dietitian or nutritionist to create a personalized plan.

Female | 17
Increased body weight is most often seen in symptoms such as low energy levels, breath difficulties, and joint pain. Some possible factors are a poor diet and insufficient physical activity. To shed some pounds, practice eating more fruits and vegetables, drink water, and exercise more often. As for height, please remember that it is mainly hereditary; however, stretching exercises may provide great results.

I am a 21-year-old female in Pune. I have hypothyroidism, PCOD, and high blood insulin. I have been trying to lose weight for about 6 to 7 years now. I have tried cycling, working out, dieting, power yoga, walking, and badminton but nothing seems to help or work on my body. I am considering liposuction, what should I do?
Female | 21
Liposuction is not the best option for treating hypothyroidism, PCOD, and high blood insulin. These comorbidities can act as a roadblock to weight loss, and a comprehensive treatment program including lifestyle modifications, nutritional changes, and medication may be best. Seek advice from an endocrinologist, gynecologist, and nutritionist to come up with a comprehensive plan that addresses your personal health needs.

Female | 25
It's worrying that you have been gaining weight even though you don't have a big diet. This might be caused by different kinds of reasons such as hormonal problems (especially thyroid) or metabolic issues. It is great that you have done workouts, however, if it causes you pain, don't overdo it. Starting with basic exercises like walking or swimming is a good option. A balanced diet including more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can also act as a medicine. If the weight gain continues, see a dietitian for a safe and healthy evaluation and guidance.

Female | 38
It sounds like you’re experiencing challenges related to weight gain and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which can often be linked to hormonal imbalances. Symptoms may include irregular periods, fatigue, and difficulty managing weight. A balanced approach, including dietary adjustments and physical activity, is crucial; consider working with a nutritionist or fitness expert. Additionally, stress management techniques may help. I advise seeing a gynecologist who can evaluate your situation and suggest tailored treatments, such as medication or specific lifestyle changes.

Focus on eating a balanced diet that is low in fat and sugar, and high in fiber. Do physical activity regularly like walking, jogging, biking, swimming or any other form of exercise. But make sure you don't have any joint issues. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. It is also important to reduce stress and make sure to visit your doctor regularly to discuss any further health concerns.

It's critical to understand the fact that, being underweight is a condition which happens due to various reasons such as metabolism, diet, and sometimes underlying health issues. In place of injections, discuss your issue with a healthcare expert. They can evaluate your condition and advise you to have a balanced diet filled with healthy calories and doing strength training to add on to your muscles. This approach is comparatively safer, more secure, and sustainable. Remember, you will gain weight slowly from nutritious foods and exercise which will be beneficial for the whole body health. The consultation of a specialist like a physician or a dietician will make you highly successful in your approach. Keep optimism! With the right plan, you can reach the ideal weight!

It is completely normal to want to increase weight; however, shots are not the solution. If you feel sick or unintentionally lose weight, seek medical advice immediately. Rapid loss of weight might be due to stress, sickness, or an underlying medical condition. The doctor will guide you on how to gain weight safely and healthily.

Female | 25
The reason for your body weight change will often be the hormones, the activity of your metabolism as well as excess water lose. If you have dropped those pounds and feel uncertain about it, then it's the dietary and the exercise part of it that needs to be investigated. Here, it should be nonnegotiable to see to it that you are eating a balanced diet with your food groups. Simple low-impact exercises are yet the light at the end of the tunnel you should pay attention to.

Female | 42
After getting gastric sleeve surgery, you need to watch what you consume. Two days post-op, avoid high-calorie drinks like Slim Fast. Your stomach requires healing time. Stick to water or clear broth initially. Slim Fast could irritate and cause discomfort. Follow your doctor's advice for optimal recovery.

Which vitamin is best for gaining weight
Male | 18
Gaining weight can be supported by maintaining adequate vitamin D levels. If your body is low in vitamin D, it may struggle to gain weight. Signs of deficiency include tiredness and frequent illness. To boost your vitamin D, consume fatty fish, and fortified cereals, and get daily sunlight exposure. Keeping your vitamin D levels up is essential for healthy weight gain.
