weight gain & new diagnosis

Hi all!

i am pretty new to this sub & diagnosis. Its been almost a month, but i have probably had GD undiagnosed for a while now.

i just started on medication for my heart to treat tachycardia & thyroid medication, but what i am really wondering is how people manage weight gain due to GD? i know it can be a rather uncommon symptom of this condition...my doctor called it unfair (lol) since most people lose weight.

it is really difficult for me to lose weight, even with counting calories, being hungry all the time (of course a symtpom), exercising (although not overdoing it by any means due to my symptoms). all in all i have gained 30 pounds and have a very difficult time losing it.

was just wondering if anyone else had this issue and if so, if it improved once your thyroid levels improved.

thanks in advance!
