Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for query.
Your husbands reports are normal, except hemoglobin which is slightly on lower side for which you can take cap Becosules once daily for 15 days.
Weight loss of 2-3 kg various normally for every individual. In empty stomach your weight could be low.After having fluids or food your weight will be on high.
There are many reasons for weight loss like Inadequate diet,Diabetes,Peptic ulcer, acidity,Tuberculosis,Alcoholism,Depression,Gastroesphageal reflux disease etc.
In your husband's case as diabetes and hypothyroidism are ruled out i dont see anything major,But if you are really concerned a renal function test,Chest X-ray and ultrasound abdomen to rule out other possibilities.
Get back if any query.

Hi,
Thank you for follow up.
As i said peptic ulcer can lead to weight loss in some individuals.
You can give Tab Pan D twice daily before food for 5 days which controls acidity and nausea.
Provanol plus obviously leads to lot of side effects like gastritis,dry mouth,dizziness etc.
Your husband needs neurologist consultation for change of medicine.
Make sure he takes right food,plenty of fluids.
Avoid coffee,high fatty diet.
Get back if any query.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for follow up.
Migraine can lead to complications like vertigo,depression,stroke(very rarely),anxiety,but not brain tumours.
First you need to understand what is migraine.Its a headache which occurs due to environmental, genetical and psychological factors.Migraine is easily treatable through regular walking,bland diet and yoga.
The above tests you have done are just a normal blood count and thyroid profile which are normal.If you are really concerned then get an MRI brain.
