Unexplained weight loss of 7kg in 1 year
My father used to have high diabetes but now with medication it is under control. He also has a recently diagnosed condition where the left side of the heart is not able to function for more than 40-45%. He is on prostrate medication for mildly enlarged prostate condition.
He is experiencing a weight loss for last 1 year. All body vitals are correct (sodium, thyroid, vitamins, cholesterol little less than min limit, pressure etc).
Could you please guide what can be the cause and how this can be identified?
