Suggest Treatment For Stomach Pain And Rapid Weight Loss

Hi, I am a 32 yr old female 6ft tall and I usually weigh between 139/142. I now weigh 118 as I have lost almost 30lbs in 9weeks and some days I can t sleep others I m to tired to get up. I have a regular healthy appetite on a daily basis with the exception of maybe 2 days in last month where I have not eaten. I am anemic and take iron pills for it daily and have had cervical and meld omits cancers before. I do not diet or exercise and drink protein shakes and 2 milk shakes daily for extra fat and still have lost 5.bs I m last 6 days. My stomach hurts from ribs poking skin as I am all skin and bone I have a appointment in a week as I couldn t be seen sooner and just wondering if there is something I can do to at least try to maintain my weight as if I continue this cycle I will be 110 in a week and I already look sick.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of loosing 30 lbs in 9 weeks, tired, unable to sleep, anemic, take iron pills, no dieting ,eating everything still loosing weight. There is tenderness in the upper abdomen.
I would advise you the following:
Loosing weight without any warnings and without obvious reason make us suspicious of cancer or some chronic infection which has to be well investigated.
X-ray of the chest, Ultrasound of abdomen, tests of blood for liver, kidney, thyroid and CBC, diabetes, tb are the basic investigations which give idea about hoe to proceed as per the clinical evaluation by a Doctor can find the reasons and hence get a proper management and treatment.
Go for detailed investigations asap, better not be late.
