Brief Answer:
Need more information...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Based on your anthropometric measurements, your BMI stands below the normal limits and you are indeed underweight by 5 kgs. You described that you have gradual decline in your weight. May I know how much weight have you lost in the last 2 years and was there a rapid decline in your weight?
I would also like to know if you experience any other problems along with weight loss such as frequent fever, constant cough, night sweats / excessive perspiration, palpitation or any other unusual symptom.
Also let me know how your appetite is - is it low or normal?
Lastly have you been evaluated by a doctor for this issue?
Awaiting your reply...
Regards
