no digestion/absorption at all

no digestion/absorption at all

No matter what I eat my body does not digest it or use it at all. This has been going on for months.
Nothing shows up on a ultrasound or blood test, everything shows normal except for a slight virus and some lymphocytes.
My body is wasting away and using my muscle to survive. I can't even walk a short distance without feeling lightheaded  and my heart beating 240 times a minute to keep up.
What could cause this?
