A member asked:
I'm nervous that my 76yr old mom keeps losing weight; is fatigued. she is busy helping chase after my toddler, tho, & has no other symp. worry?

Needs check up: Weight loss and fatigue may be due to a myriad of illness/syndromes. Underractive thyroid, depression, low vti B12 levels can all cause fatigue. Other more serious conditions may include a malignancy, heart disease and others. She should see her doctor for a full exam and blood testing, as older adults frequently have less typical presentations for medical illness.
