Last week and had bad side effects of a medication I was taking for sinus infecttion and had diahrea and vomiting fot three day and still didn t lose a pound. Could I have a growth or something?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Check thyroid hormone levels. Hypothyroidism is one of the common cause.
2. Your basal metabolic rate might be low. Add aerobic exercises to your workout.
3. Diarrhea and vomiting episodes only cause dehydration and water loss hence happened will get repleted. Fat loss is true loss.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
