Hello and welcome to HCM,
The symptoms mentioned by you suggest a systemic disorder.
Symptoms of weight gain, increased appetite, tiredness are all suggestive of thyroid disorder.
Thus, I suggest you to consult your physician for thyroid function tests- TSH, T3 and T4.
Besides a fasting blood glucose level is also required.
For the redness, itchiness and watering in eyes, you need to consult your ophthalmologist for clinical assessment and thus management.
These eye symptoms are seen in cases of infections, inflammation and allergies.
Treatment can be started after clinical assessment.

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja Puri
