6. You’ve Gained or Lost Weight

Rush University Medical Center

Many times, when patients notice that they have sudden unexplained weight gain or sudden weight loss, many doctors tend to look at the thyroid gland to see if there’s a problem. According to one such physician on her patients, “They’ll tell me that they aren’t eating any more than usual, but they’re gaining weight. They are exercising, but they are getting nowhere. They can’t lose it,” she normally finds that it is due to either hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Usually, once patients are properly diagnosed and treated, they are able to deal with their weight issues right away too.
