Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
Pregnancy is one condition which would cause increase in appetite and you would gain weight.
But since your pregnancy tests are negative, it could be other reasons why you would be gaining weight.
Kindly get the following tests done:
1. Fasting and post-prandial blood glucose to rule out diabetes mellitus.
2. Thyroid profile to rule out hypothyroidism.
Kindly consult Physician in this regard for proper diagnosis and appropriate management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
