What Could Cause Weight Loss, Frequent Bowel Movements And Increased Anxiety?
I am loosing weight and have frequent bowel movements. A year back, My weight was 87Kgs, And today i am 79kgs. I get scared very easily. I also have an Anxiety disorder. I took all the Thyroid tests and it came out to be Normal. I also did my Lipid Test and Sugar Test which were Normal. I am presently on a Multi Vitamin Tablet which i started from today because i was going through Weakness while Standing or Walking. Is it my Anxiety or something else i should be worried of?

You should also notice your heart rate when you have anxiety, and also notice if you get feelings of heart beating when u have anxiety.Also notice if u have loss of hair from head o r eye brows.If this is so its thyroid activating causing hyper thyroidism. But if the above are not there, rest be sure its anxiety either anticipatory or Panic in form. Repeat a complete Thyroid profile but also check your blood pressure when you have peak anxiety too., and as i suspect it is just an anxiety disorder, with Panic in nature.Show to a psychiatrist first, control your Anxiety, and then get to show to a ENDOCRINOLOGIST only.
