I’ve been having some random symptoms for the past year and have been excusing them all away, but now I’m wondering if they’re significant. I’m 36. I have gained 20 pounds in a year. I don’t eat perfectly but I eat pretty healthy (rarely fried/fast food, lots of protein, etc) and my diet habits haven’t changed. I exercise regularly. I thought maybe it was age related since I never gained weight this easily before but 20lb is a lot. I also am tired despite getting 7-8 hours of sleep a night. In addition, my periods have been heavier in the past 1.5 years. My obgyn put me on Lysteda but I had to stop it since it made me sick. I’m wondering if this could be hypothyroidism or anemia. I have a PCP appointment in a month and plan to discuss it there. Anyone else have any similar experiences??
