Unexplained weight loss

2020-07-03 02:59:09
My father who is 60 years old lost around 9kg weight in 1.5 months without gym and exercise in lockdown. My mother was ill and he used to take her to hospital and skipped meals only some times. Generally he didn't reduce meal intake. He has no major problem and is usually fit. He is a little tensed since 9-10kg loss was rapid.
