My sudden weight loss

Published by

I used to weigh about 70 kilograms however, I suddenly went down to 60 kilograms over a course of one month. In addition, I don’t have any appetite again. Kindly let me know what could be wrong with me. I am a 60 -year old man.

A sudden loss of weight especially at your age calls for a thorough medical investigation. In view of this, I will advise that you see a doctor, preferably, a specialist doctor at the nearest Specialist or Teaching Hospital to you as soon as possible.
