What Causes Rapid Weight Gain And Dull, Lifeless Skin?
Question: M gaining weight super quickly I don't eat anything much anyways but my skin look so dead
Brief Answer:
Are you often tired?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for using HCM.
I am so sorry to hear about this weight gain issue. Your symptoms raise the suspicion f a possible thyroid disease. This is often associated with symptoms such as dry skin, constipation, poor digestion, fatigue, depression, slow heart rate, and weight gain. If you have more of these symptoms, I will suggest that you ask your doctor to evaluate your thyroid function and make sure there is nothing that needs to be addressed at this level.
I hope this helps. If you need more information, please do not hesitate to ask more questions and we would gladly address them.
