What Causes Sudden Weight Loss, Excessive Thirst And Fatigue?
Hello, Rapid weight gain can be due to a number of things, and I would need to know his age and health history before being able to speculate. He should go in to see his doctor for an exam. I would also get the following tests: 1. fasting blood sugar (diabetes can cause thirst and fatigue). 2. complete blood count (CBC - can show signs of infection) 3.
