It’s great that your son is feeling better. Unfortunately, weight isn’t always the cause. I’m not overweight but still tried to drop 10 pounds but it made no difference.

I wish it would be as easy as losing weight. I’m not overweight. My BMI is 23.5. Still, I tried dropping 10 pounds but it made no difference to my symptoms.
