What Causes Rapid Weight Gain, Sudden Onset Of Headache And Fatigue?
I have noticed this week that I am gaining a pound of weight every day; have had sudden onset of headaches and very tired. My eating habits have not changed; not eating any fried or fast food. Eating less than 1800 calories a day. I researched and from what i found it states it could be Cushings Disease. What are your thoughts as I have never experienced this before? I am almost 51 years of age.

Hello,
This may not be Cushings Disease since your face is not getting changes. You just go for a thyroid function test. Maybe hypothyroidism associated with anemia and hyperlipidemia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
