Sudden, unexplained weight loss is one of those symptoms that often worries people the moment they notice it. Many individuals walk into Sikund Diagnostic Centre saying, “Doctor, I’m eating normally, I haven’t changed my routine, but my weight keeps dropping. What is happening?” While minor weight changes are normal, a noticeable drop without effort can sometimes signal an underlying medical condition. Understanding the reasons behind sudden weight loss and its impact is essential for timely diagnosis and treatment.
For more than 31 years, Sikund Diagnostic Centre in Dehradun has been dedicated to helping patients find answers to such concerns through accurate imaging, comprehensive testing and compassionate care. Founded by Dr. Shobha Sikund with a mission to deliver precise diagnostics and trust-based healthcare, the centre has evolved into a leading diagnostic facility integrating both pathology and radiology under one roof. With services like MRI, CT, Ultrasound, ECHO, Mammography, Bone Density scans and FNAC Biopsy, Sikund continues to support patients with reliable and advanced diagnostic solutions.
Sudden weight loss can occur due to several medical conditions. One of the most common causes is hyperthyroidism. When the thyroid gland becomes overactive, it increases the body’s metabolism, causing faster calorie burning even at rest. People may experience anxiety, sweating, palpitations and irritability along with weight loss. A simple thyroid test can detect this condition early.
