Weight gain (oedema) headache tired
On Easter Friday I was happy as ever for a long time. Following Tuesday I started to feel head ache and weight gain. On Wednesday I had severe Oedema in face under eyes and on lids, headache severe and constant. I also had nausea. In total I gained 10 lbs within 6 days. The following days I felt as bad as ever. I saw Dr yesterday, and they took some blood but didn't check blood pressure. I am female, 44 years old and very good shape. Eat healthy work out and cardiovascular training 5 or 6 days a week. I weight 137.5 on Easter Friday (same that month) ando gained to 148.I lbs. I cannot use my boots now and left leg is slightly worse than right. I am almost 5.7 tall. I have been taking 50 to 75 micrograms of thyrolevaxine the latest 6 months. Last checkup my levels were good (4 months ago). I also take water retention tablets (small amount) and iron pills for when I have my period. I need to eat very little to keep my weight, 1300 kcal or I tend to gain fat on tummy (new to me).

Hello.. First thing is you need to have less of carbs and more of proteins...so best thing is have less qt of rice or reduce the no of chapathis you have and have more of dal or subzi...you need to replace your rice or chapathis with oats,ragi balls or Suji preparations... You can tk any one fruit like banana, orange or Apple or mausambi in your fruits list... Now can add water melon too...you need to have fresh carrots, cucumber or channa dal when ever hungry... Have loads of water too...You also need to engage yourself in outdoor activity like walking,running, jogging, cycling,k swimming  for a minimum if 30 to 45 min ..or chose to gym or aerobics as per your liking....you can also include green tea...it will increase metabolism...consult a dietician for a specific  diet chart as per your bmi and your food preferences...
