67 Years. In Need To Gain Weight. Have Sleep Apnea, Weightloss, Good Appetite. Any Medications To Gain Weight Without Side Effects?
Hi my name is Roger. I have a query that has puzzled me for a long time. As everybody nowadays is concerned about weight loss, I am eager to gain weight. I am 5'11, 67years old but only weigh 136lb.I believe I am much under weight.
I have been under medical examination, but nothing serious seems to have been detected. I have sleep apnea, now using a machine to avoid snoring.I can only sleep a few hours, but that has occurred to me more than ten years. I have lost about 10 pounds in the past 9 months. My appetite is OK. Could you please give me some suggestions to gain weight without side effects? Thanks a lot.
