Hormone tab is responsible for gastric issues.
After delivery weight gain dependent on diet. U must be on normal routine diet. So weight decrease.
Add protein sack made with bhuna Chana or sattu, banana, dates, n milk consume it regularly. Add paneer home made in diet, u can go with toffu soya paneer.

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.

Doctor Advice — Weight Loss After Delivery & Hormonal Changes
Dear Patient,
Your history shows gradual weight reduction after delivery in September 2023, followed by pregnancy,
The most probable causes of your weight loss are:
• Hormonal fluctuations after pregnancy and abortion
• Effect of hormonal medications on metabolism and appetite
• Gastritis / acid reflux leading to reduced food intake
• Nutritional depletion after pregnancy events
• Vitamin D insufficiency (level 22 is low)
• Stress, anxiety, and panic symptoms affecting appetite
• Possible thyroid imbalance (needs evaluation if not checked recently)
The sensation of gastric contents coming into chest after sleep with panic feeling is commonly seen in acid reflux (GERD) and can also trigger anxiety symptoms.
What you should do:
• Check Thyroid profile (TSH, T3, T4)
• Check Vitamin B12 level
• Start Vitamin D supplementation as per doctor advice
• Eat small frequent meals every 2–3 hours
• Increase protein intake (milk, paneer, eggs, dal, nuts)
• Avoid long gaps between meals
• Take early dinner and avoid lying down immediately after food
• Elevate head end while sleeping
• Daily sunlight exposure
Treatment that may help
Antacid / proton pump inhibitor for reflux
• Probiotic for gut symptoms
• Vitamin D and B-complex supplements
• Nutritional protein supplements if appetite is low
For proper assessment and personalized treatment guidance, you can text me anytime.
