A member asked:
Besides hormone imbalance or hyperthyroidism or diet is there any orher condition that cancause rapid weight gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weight Gain: You lose weight in hyperthyroidism even with voracious appetite. On the other hand, you gain weight if your thyroid is under active . Do you have any swelling of leg or abdomen? Do you take too much salt? See your PCP for blood tests.
