Lost 31LBS in 9 months for no apparent reason, muscles seem to have wasted, always feel tired what could it be?

[Anonymous]

As the question says I have lost 31lbs in the last 9 months. recently at a rate of 1lb a day. Nothing in my lifestyle has changed. I seem to have lost a lot of muscle but not much fat. I'm a little worried what could it be?

I am not a doctor, but I do read a lot about medical conditions from legit medical websites and you have a overactive thyroid, or your hormone levels are too high. But you should go to a doctor and have them check you out they might do blood work on you.

Also your pituitary gland and hypothalamus mainly control your thyroid gland too.

You could have something else remember I am not a doctor there are other things that could cause weight loss and you don't have to have all of these symptoms to actually be diagnosed with an over active thyroid or hyperthyroidism my immunolgist came back with my blood results and he told me that my immune system was attacking my thyroid causing it to be underactive and saying I could have hypothyroidism, but that would be an considered an auto immune disease so it could be your hormones that are imbalanced in your thyroid or your immune system attacking your thyroid. remember there are other things that could be causing your weight loss such as having a problem with your liver

plays a huge role in breaking down foods in other words metabolism, also I doubt you have this but you never know did you know you have two major hormones your brain produces called Leptin and Grehlin that control your fat storage? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthyroidism you could only have one or two of the symptoms and it could get worse if you don't treat it. My immunologist told me I have an underactive thyroid and I only have two of the symptoms hair loss, and weight gain. Good luck I hope you get better I am going to my family doctor now that they have so many of my lab results back and see what they have to say.
