A member asked:

I have abnormal weight gain i'm unable to lose, what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a doctor: You should see your doctor soon if you are gaining weight rapidly. You need to be evaluated and treated for any possible endocrine conditions or other diseases that could cause the weight gain. Sometimes meds and other illnesses can cause fluid retention. If you are female, you should get a pregnancy test.
