Weight Gain: There are many possible causes of sudden weight gain, and thyroid conditions are only a small percentage of these causes. Discuss this with your doctor in detail to find the true cause of your sudden weight gain, and then obtain appropriate treatment.

Need evaluation: The thyroid test is one of a few tests that need to be ran. But the test is only the beginning, speaking to a bariatrician ( a physician specializing in weight loss and metabolism) is helpful - the results of a typical thyroid panel may be interpreted differently and further evaluation of other hormone and metabolism markers can help with deciding best way to lose the extra pounds.
