How To Control Weight With Hyperthyroidism??
Hi i was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism earlier this year. I was started on 40mg of Carbimazole and am now on 10mg daily. Since starting Carbimazole I have gained over 1 stone in weight. I have been consuming only in the region of 1,200 calories daily in attempt to control my weight but am still gaining weight. Can you offer any advice as to how i can get my weight under control. Many thanks Jules

Hyperthyroidism causes weight loss not weight gain. Check with your specialist doctor first to ensure whether its hyper or hypo thyroidism
