Standing on the weighing scale, I suddenly found that my weight had dropped significantly for several days in a row, and I couldn’t help beaming with joy:
Is this what God wants me to become a flash of lightning?
However, looking at the fitness equipment that has almost fallen into ashes and the amount of food that has not changed, one cannot help but have another question:
I didn’t lose weight, why did I suddenly lose weight?
If the weight suddenly drops for no reason and is accompanied by fatigue and fatigue, you should be on guard. Perhaps this is the health alarm before the body issues the disease.
Sudden weight loss may be a health warning.
The sudden and unexplained weight loss may be caused by disease.
There is such a kind of disease in medicine: [progressive disease], which is generally translated as [progressive disease] in Chinese.
Different from common diseases, this kind of disease is characterized by slow and lasting damage to human body until it destroys human body. Like ants digging holes in dams, what did not hurt them at first, but as the dams became empty, the thousands of miles of dams eventually destroyed the ant nest.
The two most common symptoms of this progressive disease are:
- Unexplained weight loss, physical fatigue and weakness
When both symptoms appear on you at the same time, be on guard. Maybe some diseases are already beginning to invade your body.
How much weight loss does it require vigilance?
If there are no reasonable reasons such as deliberate diet and exercise to lose weight, and the weight is reduced by 4.5 ~ 5 kg or the overall weight is reduced by 5% within 6 to 12 months, this situation is quite abnormal.
It must be noted that one cannot be complacent about sudden weight loss as a result of weight loss from the sky. You know, there is no free lunch in the world.
Which diseases may cause sudden weight loss?
There are 10 common diseases that are prone to weight loss [for unknown reasons], namely:
-
Diabetes mellitus
-
Depression
-
Cancer
-
Tuberculosis
-
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
-
Parkinson’s disease
-
HIV infection/AIDS
-
Hyperthyroidism
-
Eddison’s disease
-
Crohn’s disease
It should be noted that sudden weight loss is one of the symptoms of the above diseases, but it is not the only symptom. For example:
- Diabetes mellitus will be accompanied by increased urination frequency, abnormal thirst and other symptoms; Hyperthyroidism will be accompanied by palpitations and other symptoms; Tuberculosis can have symptoms such as cough, expectoration and blood. Crohn’s disease can have abdominal pain, diarrhea, gastric ulcer and other symptoms.
Therefore, it is unscientific to diagnose the above diseases solely on the basis of weight loss, just as it is to ignore the harm caused by sudden weight loss.
What should I do when I suddenly lose weight?
The best way is to go to the hospital for diagnosis.
Sudden weight loss is only a response to physical health and a signal. To know exactly what this body feedback signal means, only strict examination is required.
We must pay attention to these physical warning symptoms in our daily life, and find and treat them as early as possible.
