2. Weight Loss

Weight loss is the decrease in body weight that is caused by losing an adequate amount of bodily fluids, fats, muscles, bone mass, and specialized connective tissues. Weight loss can happen to anyone consciously or unconsciously. Unconscious weight loss usually happens when a hidden illness is present. Sometimes, unexplained and sudden weight loss is experienced by people who suffer from cachexia.

Those with esophageal cancer may notice a huge loss in their weight mainly due to lack of appetite and difficulty in eating. Weight loss is a normal condition; however, if it happens unexplainably, make sure to consult your doctor for concealed diseases.
