Hi wendy94366
it could be the drugs you are taking- (side effects) ?
Look at the info slip inside the box of your pills-if you haven't lost weight and your bloods are normal-I doubt that you have cancer- This is just my opinion-
Good wishes
Susan
I agree on that also it probably is just the side effects from that medicine call your doctor and let them about that Wendy.
hi susan i have lost 7lb but weight has stayed the same for 3 weeks not lost or gained since then but doctor said everything cant be put down to tablets or anxiety and by saying that he made me feel worse
Wendy i agree with the other responses I'm not a doctor but red flags are losing 10 percent of your body weight in a sort amount of time and since your maintaining your weight that's promising but definitely see a doctor if you get more symptoms could be ibs or many other gastro issues non life threatening
