What Could Cause Sudden Loss Of Weight & Extremely Tired?

Hi, Thanks for offering this service. I lost about 4 kilo in the last 6 weeks and have noticed increasing tiredness as well as lack of appetite. Also, there is blood in the tissue after I blow my nose and an increase in bleeding after brushing my teeth. Could that be linked to the pill I started taking about 6 months ago?

You don't mention what type of pill you are taking, so there is no way to know for sure if it's related, but it could be. Pills have many potential side effects in different people. However, you need to be evaluated for other problems such as thyroid disease, liver, and blood problems. Many conditions, including side effects from medicines, can cause your symptoms, which are nonspecific. These can include liver failure, leukemia, cancer, overactive thyroid, kidney disease, and many other problems. To figure out what is going on, a doctor needs to do a good physical examination of you and get some blood tests. Hope this helps.
