Keep Losing Weight for no reason

I keep losing weight and i dont know why. Its very strange. I am rather tall so my 'weight' is sort of in proporation to my height i supose even before i lost weight people thought i was too skinny.. im above average height. .

Last year, i was 74kg ( 163 1lbs). I had some health problems and i went down to 70kg (154 lbs) within a week and went to about 67kg (147 lbs) over the next month.

Its been about a year since then and i haven't put any back but 1kg.. I stopped eating for a bit - no apeitite/nesaua etc.

I eat normanly now. I dont starve myself, or miss out on meals.

I was weighed at the doctors 2 weeks ago and i was 68kg. (149 lbs)

I just weighed myself today and im 64g...(141 lbs)

i have no idea where its going! i dont really exercise at all!

Ive dropped like 4 dress sizes.

anybody have/had this. ??

Have you told your doctor about this?

You should get reweighed at the doctors; home scales are notoriously inaccurate and depend on a variety of things, including the type of floor that they're used on. If you find you've really lost 4kgs in two weeks, without any lifestyle or dietary changes, then that's certainly something to discuss with your doctor. I'd confirm the weight change first, though.

Rapid weight loss could be indicative of a serious health issue.

yeah i know. our scales arn't always right, but they are only ever 1-2kg off. It said 63.4kg. So if anything id be 64 or 65...still lost some in 2 weeks with eating normal and no exercise.

Correct side for what I was thinking of... I'd get a colonoscopy if you haven't had one already.

There are a lot of things it could be, but with your symptoms, it's not a bad idea to get it thoroughly checked out.

Actually, I just read more carefully and I'm confused... did you mean left side? Appendix problems actually are associated with the right side.
