Hi How do I handle the fact that some gp look at my weight 48 kg and say there is no risk. Before I signed on this site I was going to give up hope of any clarification or assistance. Thank you

Brief Answer:
Welcome

Detailed Answer:
You are most welcome. But any complaint at your age should not be ignored and thus fully evaluated.
Seeing your weight definitely risk is very less but if symptoms are there, they must be due to an underlying cause which can be serious or a general age related change.
So don't ignore it at all.
All the best
