How much weight loss is concerning?
My best friend lost a lot of weight very quickly recently, and now she looks a bit too thin. How much weight loss should make someone concerned about their health? I'm worried about her.

Honestly, if it's more than 5-10% of your body weight in like 6 months without even trying, that's generally a red flag. It's good to get it checked, especially if you're feeling tired too. Better safe than sorry, it doesn't take much time for a basic checkup.
Mere saath bhi hua tha, thoda weight loss ho gaya tha bina reason ke. I just thought it was stress from work. But when my wife insisted, I went to the GP, and he said it's always better to get some basic blood tests done if it's significant and unexplained. Not giving advice, just my experience.
Hey! It depends a lot on your starting weight and if you were actively trying to lose weight or not. If it's rapid and you haven't changed anything in your diet or exercise, then yes, it's good to talk to a doctor just to rule out anything serious. Take care!
See, for anything like this, it's always best to ask a proper doctor. My cousin had sudden weight loss, and the doc at Lilavati Hospital told her any unexplained drop is worth investigating. Don't rely on internet answers for such important things, please.

Honestly, I wish I had this problem! 😂 But seriously, if you're losing weight without even trying, and especially if you're feeling tired all the time (like me lol, but for real reasons), it's probably a good idea to see a doctor. My friend lost a lot suddenly and it turned out to be thyroid, easy fix once diagnosed.
