2. Gaining Weight

Gaining weight for…apparently no reason? You might have hypothyroidism. Since those who have low thyroid hormone levels are always tired, they tend to be less active, so gaining weight is pretty common among them.

Plus, when thyroid levels are quite low, your metabolism experiences some errors. And while we all know what ‘a 504 gateway timeout ‘ is, an error in your metabolism could translate to storing more calories from your diet as fat.

That’s why you’re gaining weight! In fact, those who are dealing with hypothyroidism can gain, on average, 20 pounds in one year. So, if the scale scares you, talk to your doctor ASAP.
