DEAR USER,
THANKS FOR CONSULTING WITH HCM

OBESITY IS USUALLY CAUSED BY DECREASED ACTIVITY, SEDENTARY LIFE STYLE

BUT YES HYPOTHYROIDISM CAN CAUSE OBESITY LIKE PICTURE WITH SWELLING IN NECK.

I SUGGEST YOU TO DO THE FOLLOWIUNG

1) BRISK WALK FOR ATLEAST 30 MIN FOR 6 DAYS A WEEK

2) AVOID OILY FOODS AND JUNK FOODS( IT WILL SOLVE YOUR INDIGESTION PROBLEM AS WELL)

3) EAT GREEN LEAFY VEGETABLE.

4) STILL PROBLEM PERSISTS YOU CAN GO FOR A THYROID CHECK UP AND MESSAGE US YOUR REPORTS,

HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
