Describe-
Unexplained or unintentional weight loss might be welcomed by some people, but asking about the potential causes is extremely important.

Cause-
Many of the conditions which can lead to unintentional weight loss are difficult to diagnose in the early stages, and sometimes a number of blood tests or imaging studies are needed to define the cause.

Symptoms-
symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, jaundice (a yellowish discoloration of the skin), a persistent cough, hoarseness, thirst, or a sensitivity to cold or heat.

Diagnose-
If you are losing weight without trying it is important to make an appointment to see your doctor

Treatmen-
There are many reasons for unexplained weight loss, some serious, and some more of a nuisance. In older adults (over the age of 65) the most common cause is cancer, followed by gastrointestinal and psychiatric conditions.
