Hi.
Thank you for posting your query at HCM.

Considering your age, clinical presentation along with "sudden loss of weight" within the previous month; i strongly recommend you to undergo "endoscopic examination".

Fix an appointment with a gastroenterologist and undergo upper and lower GI endoscopy.
