Weight Loss
What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?
Those who lose weight through physical activity and eating a proper diet have little to worry about. If anything, the main symptom of this type of weight loss is that a person feels healthier.
Unintended weight loss is a cause for concern. In this setting, the healthcare provider will want to know more information, such as:
How much weight has been lost?
When did the weight loss start?
Has the person's appetite or thirst level changed?
Has the person's diet changed?
Has the person's activity level changed?
Has there been a change in the person's bladder or bowel habits?
Has the person's mood changed?
What medicines or drugs is the person taking?
What other medical conditions does the person have?
Are there any other symptoms, such as fever or weakness?
