Hi,
Now if the weight is over months then it can be obesity due to high calorie intake and intake and calories spent mismatch. It can also be due to thyroid.If it's over few days or weeks then you it can be related to heart failure or thyroid.
In nutshell, you should get hemoglobin, thyroid and echo test done. In treatment at home, you decrease salt intake and you should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity at least 30 min a day and 5 days a week.
Eat lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. Get your lipid profile and sugars tested once.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
