12. Unexplained Weight Loss

There are many reasons for unexplained weight loss, some being diabetes, hyperthyroidism, cancer and depression. But another reason may also be due to COPD because this disease just makes it difficult to remain healthy and at a healthy weight. A number of health conditions that go hand in hand with COPD make it hard to remain healthy and strong, causing most people to lose weight and lose muscle mass, making them even weaker than they already are. Moreover, they tend to lack much needed nutrients and minerals to stay healthy and strong as well, while even eating can become a chore due to being overtired. Many doctors suggest that their patients eat smaller meals to not only make them easier to ingest, but to help keep their nutrition levels up.
