unintentional weight loss very rapidly

unintentional weight loss very rapidly

I'm a 24 year old female, I'm 5'1, and a month ago I was 145 pounds. Today i weigh 128, in fact in the last 2 days I've lost 5 pounds. I'm not eating any differently, I don't work out. I'm not doing anything that would cause this weight loss, It's scaring me, Does anyone know what could be causing this?
thank you
Jessica

You need to make an appointment with your doctor promptly. There are a variety of things that can cause this, including an overactive thyroid gland and various gastrointestinal diseases that cause malabsorption. Do get checked out promptly, so that you can get started on the right treatment. Feel better soon!
