Question : Hi. I have gained a lot of weight in the last three months, I now have ocular migraines weekly, and I am itchy all over every morning. Any idea what could be causing these symptoms? Thanks!

Brief Answer:
It could be due to hypothyroidism

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Hypothyroidism can be a possible cause.
Do a thyroid function test and check whether your thyroid hormones are normal or not.
Skin that's dry and itchy can be a symptom of hypothyroidism. The change in skin texture and appearance is probably due to slowed metabolism (caused by too little thyroid hormone production).
Hypothyroidism can also cause obesity.
As of now you can apply moisturizing lotions for symptomatic relief. Also, do frequent exercises to lose extra weight.
We can look in to other causes once hypothyroidism has been ruled out.

Wishing you good health.
Thanks
