Will these health problems go away if i lose weight? I'm scared.

Question

I have struggled with my weight my whole life. I would lose it, and then gain it again. I want to keep it all off. I have asthma, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, acid reflux, and my throat always feels extra tight. I weigh 260. I already dropped 4 pounds, but I know I have a ways to go. I'm 5'8. I'm just wondering if I lose weight will all the health problems go away. I'm scared to lose weight, and still be stuck with these health problems.

Answer

you would definitely feel better

Answer

I am 5’8 and at my highest weight I was 235. I never realized how much my weight had a direct impact on my health until I lost it all. At my lowest I was 148 before I got pregnant and I’m currently 184 and 32 weeks. I plan on getting back to my pre pregnancy weight ASAP just because I feel so much better at that weight.

Answer

It can help most of those, not sure about the sleep disorder though but I lost weight and it helped some things but it could be a combination of just eating healthier and working out a few times a week that actually helped. I always encourage people to be a healthy weight, I keep at my max healthy weight and felt a lot better than I did at my minimum weight. I’d say if you don’t want to loose weight just eat healthier and be a more active three times a week see if it helps if not maybe a dr could talk to you about what the root of all these issues are I hope this helps!

Answer

Most of the time metabolic syndrome and inflammation are the cause to a lot of diseases so if you get healthy and lose weight you can reverse the issues you have but it will take time and a lifestyle change to see long term disease free results.  
Good luck on your journey to health
