Something wrong with me?

Question

I am 18 years old and only weight 86 pounds. I've always been small with a big appetite but recently I haven't had much of an appetite at all.. plus I keep losing weight. Any ideas? 😔

Answer

I would say thyroid too. If it was diabetes, youd lose weight quickly, but you'd be tired all the time, and your appetite would increase. Def need some blood work prob.

Answer

You could just be naturally slim. It is possible! It's not a bad idea to check with your doctor to verify everything is OK and to rule out anything else, but there are plenty of people who have extremely fast metabolisms, are very small, and completely healthy.

Answer

You may have parasites. Most people do. 100 Years ago, most families de wormed themselves bi yearly with castor oil. Now days, parasites are a taboo subject and actually are the main cause of many health issues.

Answer

How tall are you? Are you depressed? 86 pounds is definitely underweight and if you also have a decreased appetite, it's time to see a doctor.  You should see a doctor and get checked out....maybe you should get your thyroid checked too.
