Weighgain Because Of Thyroid And Pcod

I am 23 years old and im using Thyronorm 50mcg frm 7 years for hypothyroid.I put on weigth gradually.[Height 5 feet .8inch..weight was 83kgs]Because of irregular cycles after a scanning doctor told me that i have PCOD[identified 3-4years back] but i did not take any pills for PCOD and started working out and my cycles became very regular and i lost some weight gradually in 1 year[came upto 73kgs].i Keep doing TSH test once in 6 months and continuing the same 50mcg.Now from past 1.5 year i do regular workout with a very controled diet [reduced carbs intake a lot] , but i have been almost maintaning my 74 kgs but not reducing at all.My weight regularly changes 2 kgs up and down with what i eat.but nevere comes down below 73 how much ever strict diet i follow.Is this because of my thyroid? And now i got optic neuritics and doctor told me to stop working out for few months atleast and im scared i would put on weight easily.What do i do?

PS: i have tremendous hair fall[not less than 100 strands per day].My hair just keeps falling for no reason whatever shampoo i use, pure water i use but still it doenot reduce and i am not able to bear it.

Hello, Deepu! How are you?

The weight gain and then hair loss can both be side effects of the Thyronorm, it may also cause dizziness and fatigue.

Most people with thyroid problems do gain weight, then the medication to treat the issue can also cause weight gain, so most never lose what they've gained. There's really nothing you can do to change this, while taking this medication.

While you may have to stop working out for a few months, there is no need to allow your diet to become bad. You can still eat properly and healthy to maintain as much as possible.

Does anyone else have any suggestions?
