A member asked:
I am 51 year old male and am suffering unexplained weight loss and sudden loss of appetite?

Go see your doctor!: Unexplained weight loss +/- loss of appetite needs to be evaluated. In this age group, we start worrying about colon cancer. Upper endoscopy to investigate stomach (for possible cause of loss of appetite) can be easily done at same time as colonoscopy (screening for colon cancer). Your family doctor can refer you to gastroenterologist for testing after checking for hyperthyroidism. Good luck!
