Is There Anything I Can Do To Avoid Weight Gain Having High BP And Low Thyroid And Has A History Of Breast Cancer?
I had breast cancer five years ago and am currently free of it right now. The cancer was extrogen positive so I was not able to take HRT. IN the mean time I ahve gained 30 lbs. and have high blood pressure now along with a low thyroid. I watch my diet but it seems that all I do is gain weight. What can I do or is there anything I can take to help?

Dear,
You must have already been on hormonal management for ER+ breast cancer.
Your weight gain and obesity is due to hypothyroidism and so also the high BP.
Please get your hypothyroidism corrected and have adequate exercise and have low caloric diet under the advice of a dietitian your problem will get resolved.
