General & Family Physician,  's  Response
hello and thank you for aksing HCM,

I understand your concern especially while it is affecting your daily life. At first, you mentioned that you eat and drink good. If you think that you eat enough food and despite eating, increase no weight, visit your GP and ceck up your blood, especially thyroid hormones. Hyperfunction of thyroid gland can cause weight loose even you eat a lot of foods.
But if you eat not enough, than increase the amount. The best would be if you would find a calorie table on the web and try to intake around 2000 calories each day. Even you want to gain weight, try to avoid junk food, this food will bring you more problems than benefits.

I hope this answer was helpful to you.
