Glad to help. Try to learn to meditate or get your mind off of things. I took
biofeedback classes that taught me how to breathe properly. I was always breathing  the flight or fight response way like short of breath instead of a more relaxed deep breathing combo. It helped me a lot.
take care,

Thank you very much for your answers, it sure calms me down, I am a hypochondriacand always fear the worst. Just as I am writing, I feel my chest pressured and the air quite thick.

Five pounds in 3 months before the gym isn't that much. But if you keep losing weight I would see a doctor.

Well, if you have been exercising a lot more than usual then it could just be from the exercise.

Well, besides cancer, there are a variety of reasons you could loss weight.
The thyroid is  one ., Hyperthyroidism. You should get your thyroid checked. Also, do you have any symptoms of intestinal or bowel pain and diarrhea? if so you could have celiac disease , which is wheat gluten intolerance, or chrons disease, colitis. Other things that could be causing loss of weight are diabetes so you could get your fasting blood sugar checked, HIV, depression, and TB. and 7 pounds is a lot but not that much. I would get it checked. Do you have pain anywhere in the body? I would see a doctor.
