6 Disease Symptoms You Should Never Ignore
Weight loss – Thyroid Gland Disease or Pancreatic Cancer?
One of the common symptoms of those two is weight loss but, losing weight is not always a good sign, especially if you haven’t followed any diets or exercise programs lately.
In fact, if you suddenly lose between 10 and 15 pounds with no apparent reason, it might be an early sign of a more serious illness.
Unexplained weight loss “is often caused by stress or your thyroid, but it can be a sign of pancreatic cancer,” says Marleen Meyers, MD, an oncologist at NYU Langone Medical Center. And it can be a result of a chronic medical condition. Infections such as HIV or hepatitis C can also cause you to lose more weight than normal.
