What Causes Severe Weight Loss, Nausea And Bruising Easily?
My 18 year old daughter has lost close to 20kg in the last 4 months. She has changed no eating or exercising patterns and doesn't suffer from depression. All she wants to do is sleep and in the last week she has felt nausea in the mornings (she is not pregnant) she also has been bruising very easily the last few months. She is always covered in bruises. She has been to the doctor and needs to go back for a blood test but I am so stressed about this I literally feel sick.

Spontaneous bruising is indicative of a hematological problem. Given the significant weight loss she has had, i would suggest you get a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy done at the earliest.
