All symptoms of low testosterone or high levels of estrogen. It can and does happen to men in your age bracket. Regarding your weight loss...If you're losing lean body mass (muscle), that can also be a symptom.6. Hair Loss-- I am experiencing some normal male pattern balding (as should be expected from my family history) but I've also been losing hair from the back and sides of my head which is abnormal, and I've lost hair from these areas faster than my "widows peaks".
18. Extreme fatigue in arms and legs.
If you think it's a B12-, why not just start supplementing? I mean, this is reminding me quite a lot of our granddaughter and her gluten intolerance. It was looking like it could very well be Celiac, and you want to know what the Tx is for Celiac? Removing gluten from the diet. So, irrespective of a proper Dx, the Tx would be exactly the same so that's what we did and she improved DRASTICALLY.
I'll suggest reading the dietetic journals. My mother's a registered dietitian (over 50yrs now), and yeah, you'll get yourself reading the med journals as a layperson. There's a LOT to know about human nutrition.
Did you know that people with rheumatoid arthritis should avoid all solanaceous vegetables? Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, potatoes. Some aggravate the condition more than others, patient-depending, but I have a friend who cannot eat tomatoes at all, she feels it immediately, and peppers and eggplants aren't far behind. There is a compound or group of compounds in these nightshades that causes flare-ups.
That's just one example of what's known in the dietary world, but isn't normally seen or reported in the medical world.
Edit** GERD/gastric upset (high in the tract) is something I've only recently been experiencing in my life. Post-menopause it's actually not all that unusual. In response I've had to cut out black pepper and animal flesh. I can't eat whole eggs, but I can eat dishes with eggs as an ingredient, and I can eat meringues. I can drink all the milk I want, and yogurt, cheese and ice cream not only don't cause me problems, but if I'm having stomach upset they settle it down.
You might want to also consider the hormonal aspect of this issue as my husband suggests.
That is certainly cause for concern. I know your age, may I ask your height? Are you logging your food intake? The reason I ask is that I'm a trainer and your weight is extremely disconcerting your a male in your age bracket.10. Weight loss. This is alarming me, I didn't know until I hit the doctor the other day but I am currently 122 pounds!!!!! I have been 135-140lbs EVERY DAY that I can remember from freshman year of high school until this most recent doctor visit. Seeing the scale there was a holy shit moment for me.

OMFG Squig...You need to log your food for 3 days and send me EXACTLY what you're eating. a doc can't help you here. A 27 year old male at 5'9" with a body weight of 122lbs is..umm...not good. You may have other things going on, but your diet needs to be reigned in. Do you exercise? You're losing lean body mass right now I suspect and that exacerbates the issue as lean body mass is active tissue but if one is in a calorie deficit mode with no exercise, one tends to lose as much muscle as they do fat. Trust me on this. I can link you to studies that bear this out.5'9"
I haven't been logging it but I can tell you it's been abysmal. I have had no appetite whatsoever.
I've been eating better the past few days but I'm still only managing 2 meals a day with no snacks. It's a battle to even keep hydrated right now.

I'm not much taller than you and I'm 53 years of age. I'm 5'11", 185lbs and I'm at a very healthy 13.5% body fat percentage. I'd like to help if I may. Just sayin, OK?
The mother buckskin tax from 2 + to 4+ a pack a few years ago made me quit. Unemployed at time and hardly could eat, let alone smoke.replacing cigs with joints helped me quit cold turkey too, but i guess i was never truly addicted.
Please don't take this in the wrong way, it's mt opinion
Please don't take this in the wrong way, it's my opinion and this is a discussion.
It just seems odd to me that someone is so smart is killing himself with cigarettes, soda, crap food, overstimulation, hard drug dealing and pro blay use, stressful lifestyle, we know the story.
I was wondering whether or not you could see that this is what's happening. Not that your physical health isn't an issue, you're definitely on the slim side there and the bit about the headrushes when you get up isn't right. But once you start eating right, get yourself 'squared' away (figure out what's happening, and I wouldn't be surprised if you're deficient in a lot of nutrients), that will help. You may not be able to control the anxiety yourself if it continues, but I'm very glad to see that you're not one of those that's recalcitrant to ask when you need it.I'm still waiting on it--but I promise not to take it the wrong way!!
One of the most comforting about this whole process for me has been the many perspectives everyone has brought. When you're dealing with anxiety one of the big problems is getting stuck on cruise control and developing tunnel vision when it comes to your issues.
As a trainer, I would never put someone in your physical condition into any regimen that requires a lot of physical exertion at the moment. Other types of exercise are available. Until you get your weight and strength up I'd recommend yoga and/or Tai Chi. These are beneficial not only for your body, but for your mind as well.I'm afraid to do exercise till I see my blood work and visit a cardiologist for EKG/Echo Stress Test.
Don't be ashamed of needing some Rx help. I know that a lot of folks here are quite against it, but there really are times when it's absolutely appropriate. Just keep telling yourself you'll be ok, don't keep up the mental discussion that says you're at death's door.

I can't emphasize enough the need to log your food in order to capture a precise picture of what you're consuming. I suspect you're not ingesting enough proteins and fats, but that is conjecture at this point without a log.
