I am swelling up. My mid-section is swelling up. I have no control over it. It just starts getting bigger. and when i am stressed i swell even more. I weighed tonight and I have gained a ton of weight. I weighed 180. A healthy weight for me is 120 or 130. What is going on? Help! I am turning into a puff ball.Are you taking more prednisone than usual? That makes my belly swell. By the time I get home from work I look pregnant. It's flatter in the morning but not flat. I have gained weight but I will not get on the scale because I don't want to see the number. Even at the doctor's office I turn my head.
I am so sorry!!As you stress the body releases cortisol which leads to the gaining of belly fat. Belly fat also is a sign of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. Unusual weight gain should be checked out by your drWell get your kidneys tested just to be on the safe side. A bit of bloodwork and a urine test sounds like it is worth checking it out.Your metabolism is clearly changing but I don't have a clue as to why. I'd go through the list of your medicines, diet and exercise with your doctor. As to your stress, 1Peter 5:6-7
