Gained weight, going to the doctor, any special tests to request?

You're too young, but weight can be sign of heart disease

maybe its a build up of fast food causing the problem.

a normal person on your diet might of gained weight quicker, but your lifestyle was active enough to fend it off till now.

you should begin with cutting out your fast foods as a start to a healther life style

LOL, this stuff is exactly why doctors passionately hate the internet, and I cannot say I really blame them.

30 hours and no-one thought of this:

Seriously - cut the sugars and processed carbs out of your diet, eat lots of fiber, exercise in some fun way (basketball, mixed soccer, mixed softball, swimming with girls, running with girls) and you'll shake whatever you have. Life is good now, so enjoy it, eat and act healthy and you'll be OK.

I love the internet. I just hate the armchair diagnoses.

I mean FFS I'm not gonna tell someone how to build a bridge cause I'm not an engineer yet you get people suggesting all kinds of **** cause once they had it or perhaps their friend's cousin twice removed knew a girl whose aunt got a heart attack from not eating red meat.

As mentioned just get a full blood test done. If its in your blood it will turn up and if it turns up good ask your doctor what else it could be and what to test for.
