Weight loss
Hi, I have lost around 10kgs gradually over last 1.5 years. I am not on any diet and have not made any changes in lifestyle. Occasionally I have sudden pain inside belly button and sometimes in chest also. The pain won't last longer. Feels just like pricking.
Please let know what might be the concern or which specialist i need to consult for this.
