Hormone tests?: You raise A number of complex medical issues. What you need is detailed social, Family, And medical history. Then you need a careful physical examination. Finally based on this appraisal you may need selected laboratory tests. I would keep a diary of all of your problems and what might affect them and share with your team.Include everything you eat and drink and are thinking about.

GP: Start with your GP for an exam and detailed medical history. Weight gain can be caused by a variety of issues and further cause undesirable changes. Let the doc decide what would be best in the form of tests and treatments and ask about options.
