Apart From Thyroid, What Causes Weight Gain And Fatigue?

Hi! I have all the symptoms of thyroids (tiredness, constipation, intellectual weakness, weight gain, wrist pain and feeling extreme cold and hot etc) and doctors tested it 3-4 times but the results are always negative. Please suggest if I may have any other problem or I should go to any other lab (in Delhi) for the test. My age is 40 yrs, ht is 5'5" weight is 103 kgs.

Hello,
Thank you for asking
As underactive thyroid is excluded as a cause of your symptoms another pathology should be tried to find.
When I see someone like you in my practice, I typically order the following blood tests in addition to a detailed physical examination:

CBC (Complete Blood Count, also known as Hemogram; includes Hemoglobin, WBC and Platelet counts)
Electrolytes (Sodium and Potassium in particular)
HbA1c (Glycosylated Hemoglobin = your last 3 months' glucose average).
Liver function tests (SGOT , SGPT, Albumin, Bilirubin, Alkaline Phosphatase)
Kidney function tests (BUN, Creatinine)
25 hydroxy Vitamin D levels (ideal range 40 to 60 ng/ml = 100 to 150 nmol/liter)
Cortisol level at 8.00 a.m (Fasting)
Calcium
