I live in Pogradec and keep gaining weight despite exercising. What should I check?
I have been living in Pogradec for almost two years and I keep gaining weight
even though I exercise, fast and try to eat healthy. My thyroid has already been tested and
treated, but it has not solved the problem. What should I look at next?
If your thyroid has already been assessed and treated but your weight is still
increasing, I would look at the bigger picture rather than assuming the thyroid is the only
explanation. Weight can be affected by eating patterns, activity, sleep, medications,
hormonal changes, and other medical conditions.
I would ask how your weight has changed over time, what your usual meals and activity look
like, how well you sleep, which medicines or supplements you take, and whether you have
other symptoms. I would also review your previous thyroid results and treatment so we can
see what has already been investigated.
From there, I can help identify factors that may be contributing to the weight gain and
whether further blood tests or assessment would be useful. If you are considering a
medication such as a GLP-1 medicine, I can also discuss whether it may be appropriate
based on your medical history rather than treating the weight alone.
