General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I would advise you to have some blood tests to make sure you do not have thyroid problems or PCOS which may cause weight gain and problems with conception.
The following tests are recommended:
- TSH and FT4 to check the thyroid function
- FSH, LH, testosterone, progesterone, estradiol, etc (to check other hormones)

If all these tests are normal, then you will need treatment for anxiety with SSRI such as escitalopram (your doctor needs to prescribe it and follow you up regularly).

I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance.

Regards,

Dr. Antoneta Zotaj
