My father's age is 55 and he had a severe weight loss of 13 kgs in a month. I was shocked when he is said this on phone. of course he is having some family problems and tough phase (pressure) in work but i'm very much worried about this severe weight loss. He said that he is not getting sleep much and hardly sleeping for 4 to 5 hours in a day. His face became very thin and stomach became fully flat. Is this a sign of any cancer or thyroid issue? What are the tests that he should undergo to get to know the actual problem? Please provide the necessary information about this and the required tests as well. It will be really helpful to me. Thanks in advance.

U should eat whatever your mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is your traditional food. If punjabi eat paratha, if belongs to south then take idli/ dosa etc. 2.

Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of plain water first thing in the morning (preferably within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 4.
