I have gained 40 pounds in the last year. 20 pounds of that weight gain has been in the last 5 months and 10 pounds of that weight gain as been in the last week. Is it normal to gain weight that fast?

Hi Kimberly...Sounds to me that it alot of weight to gain within a year and 20 pounds just in the last five months but do you have any idea what is could be causing it? Like a Thyroid problem or are you taking any antidepressants?
I really have no idea why I would gain so much, so fast. I have not been on any medications other than an antibiotic every now and then. I have seen my OBGYN, and she thought I had fibroid tumors. They did an ultra sound and every thing same out normal. I have no energy anymore. Walking from my car to the store wares me out. I also have no want to anymore.
Thank you for your time,
Kim

Csoar is right Kimberly...I would deffently have some blood work done. I also have gained alot of weight rather quickly and feel exhausted all the time so I found a thyroid specialist and he did tests but nothing for me shows up in blood work. It took an ultra sound of my neck to determine the goiter. It wouldn't hurt just to go and have an all over check up with them checking for everything and anything. I am going back and having my doc check for low iron. I have read that can make a person very tired and when I was pregnant with my son my iron was very very low. So we shall see I guess. And don't always take the first results you get back from a test and what the doctor tells you. I know this sounds stupid but for years I was told nothing was wrong with my thyriod and in that time I had a goiter growing in my neck that my doc says has been there for two years. So your body will tell you somethings wrong and we just have to figure out what it is....wish it could be a little easier though
