You are 38 years old.
Timeline summary:
• Delivery: Sept 2023
• Weight stable ~51 kg for 1 year
• Gradual drop to 49 → 48 → 47
• Pregnancy July 2025 → weight 50 kg
• Abortion Sept
• Since November (on hormone pills) → weight down to 46.5 kg
•
LFT, RFT, CBC normal
•
Vitamin D = 22 (insufficient)
• Gastric issues + chest burning + panic episodes
Important observations:
Your weight loss is:
• Gradual
• Around 4–5 kg over ~1.5 years
• Not rapid extreme loss
Most likely causes based on your history:
1️⃣ Hormonal changes (postpartum + abortion + hormone pills)
2️⃣ Gastritis / acid reflux reducing appetite
3️⃣ Anxiety-induced appetite suppression
4️⃣ Stress-related metabolism changes
5️⃣ Possible
thyroid fluctuation (very common postpartum)
Since:
• CBC normal
• LFT/RFT normal
• No mention of fever, chronic diarrhea, or severe weakness
Serious disease is less likely.
Your chest “gas coming up after sleeping” sounds like acid reflux (GERD), which can trigger panic-like symptoms.
Vitamin D of 22 indicates deficiency → can worsen fatigue, mood changes, and anxiety.
Next Steps
✔ 1. Check
Thyroid Profile (Very Important)
Do:
•
TSH
• Free T4
• TPO antibodies
Post-pregnancy thyroiditis is common and can cause weight loss + anxiety.
⸻
✔ 2. Manage Gastric Symptoms
• Avoid late heavy meals
• Don’t lie down within 2 hours of eating
• Reduce spicy/oily foods
• Elevate head end while sleeping
• Consider short-term PPI (after doctor consultation)
Reflux can mimic heart symptoms and cause panic.
⸻
✔ 3. Correct
Vitamin D
Vitamin D 22 → insufficient.
Supplement:
• 60,000 IU weekly for 6–8 weeks (if prescribed)
Then maintenance dose.
⸻
✔ 4. Monitor Red Flag Symptoms
Seek evaluation if:
• Night sweats
• Persistent diarrhea
• Palpitations
• Severe weakness
• Appetite loss
• Rapid further weight loss
Health Tips
✔ Eat small frequent meals
✔ Add protein (eggs, dal, nuts)
✔ Add calorie-dense healthy foods (peanut butter, seeds)
✔ Practice stress reduction
✔ Gentle strength training
✔ Improve sleep
Your pattern strongly suggests hormonal + gastric + stress-related weight loss rather than something dangerous.
However, because this has been ongoing and you are understandably anxious, a detailed hormonal and metabolic review would help identify the exact cause and prevent further weight loss.
I recommend booking an online consultation so we can systematically evaluate
thyroid, hormones, nutrition, and anxiety triggers — and create a structured recovery plan instead of continuing to worry.
