How steroids can lead to weight gain?
According to health experts, asthma symptoms could prevent a person from exercising or doing hard physical activities. If a person is taking steroids for a long period of time then it is likely that the person can feel hungrier than usual, which means the person will eat more and it can ultimately lead to weight gain. Weight can also increase by fluid retention from taking oral steroids.
It is a known fact that asteroids which the doctors use to treat asthma, can change the body’s metabolism rate and it can alter the appetite level of the patient.
