A member asked:

My labs are borderline hyperthyroidism. is it possible to have this and still gain weight? maybe the hyperthyroidism symptoms make me feel weak which makes me eat often. maybe low dose treatment may help weakness therefore ill eat less?

Need to examine: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your perception of hyperthyroidism and weight gain may be unrelated. Wish you good health!

Hyperthyroid labs ?: Hyperthyroid conditions should be under the care of an endocrinologist. The metabolic condition is complicated and medications may be required as well as a thyroid scan. Telehealth visits may be sufficient to obtain further testing.
