Question

End of March had to take responsibility for 90 year old aunt, lived with us for month. Took care of Uncle's funeral, now am trustee for aunt. During that time, just was running ragged with all duties. First thing I noticed was my breasts just shrunk.. I am not that large to begin with. My clothes were lose, and my arm and leg muscle are not firm anymore. I have lost about 9 pounds since March, eating the same and otherwise feel fine, but getting anxiety worrying about underlying health problems. I am going to doctor next week, but am researching on internet as well. The stress of being trustee is somewhat a worry, but I try not to dwell on it all. I take Crestor and have taken it for three years without problems, so far. I hope this could be due to just worry and stress, and not underlying medical problem. Guess I will have to wait for professional opinion, but would love to hear from other persons with similiar situation.

Answer 1

You maybe eating the same but by the sounds of it your physical activity has increased. The more you do the more calories you burn.

You are doing everything right by going to the doctor as unexplained weight loss can be a sign of other underlying illness.

Take some time out for yourself and hope all goes fine at the doc. Don't get yourself worked up about what it might possibly be (or your BP will be through the roof!!!).

It could be you are doing more physical things than before your activity level could be higher. When I spent five weeks taking care of my mother in the hospice I ate more calories than I usually do because I was eating out, getting take out or ordering food, etc. It was way more calories than I eat at home yet I lost almost 20 pounds during that time. I went to the doctor and everything was fine. It was probably increased activity and stress. But I'm glad your going to your doctor to get checked to ensure it isn't anything underlying that is causing the problem. I wish you the best.
