    Hi Everyone,
    I have a question about Hyper/Hypo symptoms. My TSH is .02 so that means I am Hyper. I have been gaining weight, legs are killing me, I am exhausted, anxious, heart is racing. I talked to my dr. and I am lowering my dose. I know it will take a while. I have also been exercising 3-4 times a week for 45 minutes. I don’t understand the weight gain if I am Hyper. Is this normal?

    Thanks for your help
    Maria

    Some folks gain weight while hyperthyroid. A more typical presentation is for people to lose weight, due primarily to muscle loss, but gaining weight is not unheard of.

    Thanks Bobbi! I sure hope the weight goes down; especially since I am exercising.
