You are gaining weight

The same as with unexplained weight loss, unexplained weight gain is worth seeing your doctor. A lot of people will try to dismiss it, thinking that they have control over it. But before they know, they’ll have 10, 20, or even 30 pounds in excess.

This can be a sign of an underactive thyroid, polycystic ovarian syndrome, or Cushing Syndrome. If you’ve started a new medication, this can be a side effect. Corticosteroids, birth control pills, diabetes meds, and even some drugs that treat bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and depression, can cause you to gain more weight. If you visit your doctor in time, it will be easier to reverse it!
