Hello,

Thanks for the question.

I guess it's time to get your thyroid tested. Both your weight and easy tiredness can be due to thyroid issue.Thyroid issues do run in families.

Thyroid function test and sonography of thyroid would be desired investigations.

Please ask if there are doubts.Regards.

Answered by Dr. Sudhir (4 hours later)

Sonography means ultrasound.
Ideal step in your case would be to see an endocrinologist.Doctor might want to get your adrenal gland checked as well.As it is of the common cause of weight gain and fatigue.

Please ask if there are doubts or further questions.Regards.
