Hi, My aunt is in her 70s and lately has no appetite and sleeps allot, and has lost a fair amount of weight, what could be the problem?  Her heart tests are clear, they are sending her to a pulmonologist tomorrow. She is diabetic but sugar levels have been normal.
Hi thanks for asking question. Noted she has weight loss with anorexia. So she has been referred to pulmonologist for rule out first tuberculosis .... For that chest x-ray and sputum examination done.... Pulmonary function test can be done to rule out respiratory insufficiency. Test for HIV also done which also present with such symptoms...LFT profile done for detecting any chronic liver affection... Control diabetes with less sugar diet... Take care...
