What Causes Stomach Bloating With Breast Enlargement?
I had a tubal ligation in 2003. However, I can t remember the last time I had a period. I am 34 years old and have hyperthyroidism so its hard for me to gain and maintain weight but I have gained 8 pounds in two weeks. I generally have a flat stomach but it is bulging enough now that my clothes no longer fit. My breasts have also grown a full cup size. I haven t gained weight anywhere else. I have dizzy spells and feel faint often. Certain smells and food make me nauseous as well. I have also started having weird dreams at night. I took a home pregnancy test a couple weeks ago with a negative result. What do you is causing these symptoms? I feel pregnant but the test said I m not.

Hello,
I carefully read your case and i will try to give you some more information.
You said that you are diagnosed with hyperthyroidism but you didn't mention if you are taking any medication actually?
One of the causes risponsable for your symptoms may be a hormonal dis balance of the thyroid gland. Probably you are taking a large dose of antithyroidien tablets and that is why you need to check the hormones.
There are also cases in whom the thyroid pathology switches from hyper to hypo and is manifested with weight gain and other symptoms.
Once the thyroid hormone level is confirmed to be within the normal ranges, your doctor will try to find out any other cause for your symptoms (problems with the cortisol levels, vit D deficiency ect.).
Hope my opinion will help you somewhat.
Best regards,
Dr. Guni
