General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Sudden and unexplained weight loss warrants investigations. Polymyalgia rheumatica may cause weight loss but it is important to rule out other causes as well.
A good thorough examination is needed and also possibly some blood tests such as TSH for the thyroid function and basic metabolic profile.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
