What Causes Drastic Weight Gain Along With Shortness Of Breath?

I have put on about 20 lbs in the last month, we went on vacation to Maui in mid January, when we left home I was 225lbs, I am now 245lbs. I am not exercising and I know that s a problem, but 20 lbs in months time? I also am very short of breath and my breathing has been weezy . I am 52 years old, 5 11 . I used to be very active, but now all I really do is work, I am at my place of business generally about 5:30/6:00 am until 6:45 to 7:45 pm every night. I ll make ab fast sandwich, generally go to lunch around 2:30/3:30 (sometimes not getting lunch at all) and then get home late and want to eat. I know that s bad but what are you supposed to do?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
What you are supposed to do is to take action and right now. Otherwise you will remain in this vicious cycle of work and poor diet habits. The wheezing and shortness of breath are all related to the extra weight you have. Your BMI is in the range of 31-40 which is almost the upper limit. You need to stop eating after your work, and you need to start taking food with you at work. After your work you need to take a walk every day for an hour for example just walking. Please feel free to contact me for a detailed diet plan and workout plan.
