Hey, it's me Bubonic Plague.

I'm now losing weight really fast now. I'm down to 103 lbs now and my height is 5ft 10in. I've been eating normally like I always have, but now I don't know what's going on.

All of my pants that I wear are too big on me, and my butt is starting to shrink and lose it's shape.

The weirdest thing is that my breasts haven't shrunk much, I have a muscular appearance around my abdomen (people have always said I've had abs though), my ribcage only shows a little.

So get these symptoms:

-Some times I lose my appetite, some times I feel hungry.
-I'm fainting often
-I feel really thirsty all the time and I get full off of water.
-I get full really fast
-I often get diarrhea

But now I'm having this new symptom of muscle twitching where my abdomen is, and it's happening frequently.

I don't know what the hell is happening, and no matter how much I try and keep my weight up, I lose more and more weight.

I'm not anorexic, I wish I were curvier, and now I know I'm on the brink of death.

If you're losing weight without trying and you're not sure why, consult your doctor!

Not sure but my dad had unknown diabetes, first noticeable symptom was rapid weight loss: because the sugar doesn't go into cells, they float around the bloodstream without insulin. Can you get a is it to a diaticiAn to explain your daily food diary/ exercise? There's also food calorie app, for people who are trying to lose and also gain weight

You sound quite ill. I recommend you go to an ER now for evaluation. You may have life threatening electrolyte abnormalities.

You are really in need of seeing a medical doctor and having a full set of blood work and testing done to find out the cause of such dramatic weight loss.

I hope you get help , as if you are not trying and loosing rapidly something must be off. Another thing to look at would be an overactive thyroid . Hope you get help.

BubonicPlague, as the others have said, please get urgent help from a health professional about this.

Bubonicplague,

Based on your symptoms, you might consider the possibility that you may have low blood pressure, low iron or anemia, or potential kidney problems. Like the others have stated, it's best to go get checked out at the hospital. Try not to freak out, though, and imagine the worst. It may be something that can be addressed and resolved easily.

It could also be a tapeworm infection. Can you talk to someone at the doctor's office and have them move up your appointment?
