Suggest Treatment For Excessive Weight Gain
Question: How can I reduce weight and sweling
Brief Answer:
Have your medications been checked?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.
With persistent weight gain ad swelling while on drugs for hypothyroidism, the suspicion for poor treatment is high. I will suggest that you get your thyroid hormones and treatment reviewed to make sure that you are not being under medicated. This is because your symptoms are still suggestive of hypothyroidism. Ask your doctor about this and let me know what his thoughts are.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
