I have been experiencing ongoing weight gain and even with exercise and controlling what I eat I can t lose the weight. I also have alot of hair loss in the last 6 or 9 months. I mean like a lot. I know you are supposed to lose hair every day but I have to unclog the drain every time I take a shower. At times my vision is off and also my speech can be weird.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per my experience, the issue sounds to be hormone imbalance related most likely thyroid hormone.

I would recommend to visit your consultant and get basic lab reports done to evaluate the same for curative approach.

Thanks
