Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your and being your physcian ii completely understand your health concerns.
Have u calculated ur .BMI< wt in kg / ht. im mter square>
do check are u continuously losing wt.? any other associated problem? like diabetes or hyptertension? any history of TB in past or exposure to TB? are u having fever? any other lymph node swelling in ur body? do u have got any fatty stools?
in my opinion u should be seen by your doctor so that any organic cause can be ruled out. if i were ur attending physcian i will look for the CBC , ESR along with the TFTs .. i will also consider ANTIENDOMYSEAL ANTIBODIES AND TTG ANTIBODIES to look for celiac disease...
you should pay visit to ur attending physcian atleast once for workup.
meanwhile stay calm and consume regular nutritional food with milk and fruits, protein shakes do help but u have to exercise to build ur muscle mass
have a nice time
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
Regards
Dr Saad Sultan
