Is wt gain??: Docs will be concerned if you have a weight gain for no apparent reason.Eating less calories, less exercise, disability, illness, etc.- unexplained wt loss could potentially be a very serious problem caused by a terminal disease.It is important that your doctors have a complete medical history and physical; as well as labs and perhaps certain types of radiological tests. Unexplained wt loss=cause.
