A member asked:

If i'm concerned i'm underweight, how do i ask my gp. and is it a waste of an office visit if i can just use a scale at home?

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Underweight can be: a medical issue. You never waste your doc's time by sharing your concerns w/him or her, quite the opposite. He/she will examine you to make sure all is well. Peace and good health.
