Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am what many people call an ectomorph so I have very little muscle mass, tiny joints and a super fast metabolism. I eat about 3,500 calories a day, 220g of protein and work out 4times a week but have only managed to gain 3 pounds in 3 months and not only is this time consuming, but cost consuming aswell. Will I be able to get any medication prescribed by a local doctor that could slow down my metabolism to a point where it s near normal or even just a bit slower cause at this point it s actually effecting my every day life as I ve been turned down for jobs due to my inability to lift as much weight as other people can which is obviously a major weakness in most work places
Kindly get your thyroid function test. Thyroid hormones are responsible for maintaining metabolism at optimum levels. Based upon the reports you can be prescribed medications accordingly.
I shall await your response. Let me know if I can assist you further.
