Hopefully, your : Entire family will assure her that her weight is a health concern, not a cause for shame, & will commit to permanent diet & lifestyle changes to support her. Polycystic ovaries syndrome is a possible cause of her obesity & hypertension. Along with referrals to a cardiologist & nutritionist, her doctor may refer her to an endocrinologist, gynecologist, psychologist & physiotherapist. Just do it.
