A member asked:
Is 5% (unintentional) weight loss in a year enough to suggest a thyroid problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be: Thyroid problems or others. Hard to say without knowing more about you or if you have other symptoms. The only way to rule out thyroid problem is to get a blood test.
