Best Answer
If you had lost 50 pounds in even three months, that would be highly unusual and something to be concerned about. However, losing 50 pounds in one month, while experiencing daily migraines, dizziness and nose bleeds all combined together is your body screaming at you, "We're in trouble kid-do!" Don't walk, but run to a reputable Doctor and start getting yourself diagnosed ASAP.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Unintentional and unexplained weight loss is definitely not good. There are many causes like worms in stool, depression, anorexia nervosa, AIDS, cancers especially colon cancers, drug abuse, infections and loss of appetite. Loss of appetite can again be due to certain medications, drug abuse, depression, AIDS, acute and chronic infections, cancers and hypothyroidism. Either you do not eat well or there is increased metabolism as in hyperthyroid states, HIV, cancer etc. Poor absorption as in irritable bowel syndromes and malabsorption syndromes too is possible. Malabsorption syndromes are seen in intestinal tuberculosis, HIV, tropical sprue, parasites in stool and Whipple’s Disease. Diabetes too can be the cause.
Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral. Take care!
