Brief Answer:
Did you check your thyroid hormones level?
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX Hi
Thanks for your information.
It seems you have gained weight as reflected by your abdominal distension, do you have fatigue or weakness? Along with constipation these symptoms may be suggestive of hypothyroidism, so have you ever checked the levels of thyroid hormones?
Awaiting your reply.
