What Causes Sudden Weight Gain?

If everything was normal with your weight before, and suddenly you gain weight in a short period of time, consider whether it is caused by taking some medications. For example, some commonly used hormonal drugs or antidepressants may lead to sudden weight gain if taken for a long time. Therefore, before taking any medication, you should also be aware of its possible side effects. In addition to weight gain caused by medication, hypothyroidism is also related to thyroid problems. For example, people with hypothyroidism, which is caused by insufficient thyroid secretion resulting in slow metabolism, often gain weight in a short period of time. Irregular lifestyle and diet may also be caused by unhealthy habits, such as long-term fatigue and lack of sleep due to work or other reasons in a short period of time, which may affect the human body's metabolism, leading to slow metabolism. Lack of exercise and irregular diet may also cause sudden weight gain. Middle-aged and elderly people are more prone to weight gain compared to young people. This is why many middle-aged and elderly people have a good figure when they are young, but gain weight after entering middle age and old age. This is also caused by their slower metabolism.
