What Causes Constant Drop In Weight Of A Heart Patient?
Over the past couple of years I ve been gradually losing weight, dropping from around 185 to 190 down to 175. I m 72 years old and suffered a heart attack in September of 2013. I am taking lipitor, plavix, low dose asprin and flomax. I was doing weight and aerobic exercises for many years prior to the heart attack and have continued the aerobic exercises since. My physical routine has become less physical since the heart attack but my appetite seems fine...yet my weight continues to drop. ???????

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, just stop worrying about this, first thing you need to do is to confirm whether this is really weight lost and for that go on weighing your self on different scales, such weight loss is nothing to worry when not associated with any of clinical sign and this could be age related too, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
