How much unexplained weight loss is bad?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Weight loss of five percent of body weight over a period of 6 - 12 months in the absence of trying to loose weight is considered an unexplained weight loss which is not good and needs a doctor's evaluation.

View allI'm thinking of taking two Zincovit tablets a day, is that okay? Also, when would be the best time to take them? Would appreciate any advice on this.
Feeling and seeing your pulse in your stomach can be unsettling. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Normal variation_: As you mentioned, it's normal to feel a slight pulse in the abdominal area. 2. _Increased abdominal muscle tone_: If you've recently started exercising or have increased your physical activity, your abdominal muscles may be more prominent, making the pulse more visible. 3. _Thin body fat percentage_: If you have a low body fat percentage, your abdominal organs, including the aorta, may be more visible. 4. _Aortic pulse_: The aorta, the main artery that carries blood from the heart, runs through the abdominal cavity. A strong aortic pulse can be visible in some individuals. _No Need for Concern_ Unless you're experiencing other symptoms like: - Abdominal pain or tenderness - Shortness of breath - Dizziness or lightheadedness - Rapid or irregular heartbeat

I've been dealing with this high cold for the past five days. The doctor gave me Augmentin, Zerodol P, and Betadine gel, but I'm still struggling with the cold. Sometimes I even get upper back pain and brief chest pain. What should I do?
It seems your cold might be lingering due to congestion or irritation. Keep taking the prescribed medicines, stay hydrated, and use steam inhalation to relieve symptoms. If the chest pain persists or worsens, consult your doctor again to rule out any complications.

I'm a big fan of pork and eat it quite often. Recently, my biology teacher mentioned something about helminths and suggested that people who love pork should consider taking albendazole, although I'm not entirely sure if that's how you spell it. Should I be taking this too? If so, how many tablets should I take, and when should I be taking them?
no
