I am also noticing a sudden drop in my weight without any change in my diet. Does high stress or anxiety alone cause this, or should I be worried about something else?
Sudden unexplained weight loss is a clinical symptom that requires immediate medical investigation. Go to a reputed multi-specialty hospital, get your blood tests and abdominal scans done, and discuss the results clearly with an internal medicine specialist.
My son lost almost 8 kgs in a single month during his engineering exams. We immediately ran blood tests and found out he had developed Type 1 diabetes, so please take rapid weight loss very seriously.
Losing weight without trying is actually a major red flag, yaar. It could be due to a hyperactive thyroid or even gut absorption issues, so don't delay your visit to the doctor.
My physician explained that unexplained weight loss of more than 5% of body weight in 6 months can indicate hyperthyroidism, malabsorption syndromes, chronic infections, or even malignancies. It is critical to get a comprehensive diagnostic workup done.

Agree with everyone here. Please get your thyroid and blood sugar checked immediately, as these are the most common culprits for sudden weight loss.
When my blood sugars were dangerously high before my diagnosis, I lost a lot of weight rapidly because my body was burning muscle for energy. If you have extreme thirst or frequent urination along with weight loss, please check your HbA1c.
