Unexplained weight loss, fatigue and weird pains

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hello,

I am a 17 year old boy and have a few unexplained and worrying symptoms. 

In the last four months I have lost 14kg (30ib) with no explanation. I have always been tall and skinny, and never intended to lose any weight. I have had no loss in appetite, however, and if there has been any change in my diet it is only that i have been eating more. 

I also have bad fatigue, I have had this for a few year now, since I was diagnosed with depression. I have in the past been on anti depressants but i stopped them about a year ago. I can't focus at school an often fall asleep in class which has obviously negatively affected my grades.

and finally, i have been getting weird pains for the last couple of months. most of these have been around the right side of my chest, around my rib cage and hips, and around my stomach/lower torso area, today however, i have felt like my whole inside is burning, a different pain. the ones i have had for a while have been sharp stabbing pains. this is highly uncomfortable and worrying.

any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot
