Hello, Thanks for the query.

There is no increased heart rate at all. Also let me know why did you stop the medication? Had you checked the ...more

Hi! the majority of symptoms that you have measured overlap between the two. Like obesity itself can result in stretch marks, round face, lethargy, resulting in altered menstrual cycle. Obesity in itself is major cause for pcos. But since you've mentioned that 11-12 years back your cortisol levels were altered then it is better that you get your cortisol and acth-dexamethasone suppression test. And in addition get thyroid profile also done.
