Amen. This is a very serious symptom, and one that you need more advice than I can give you.

As doctors often get scared with the whole "Nagging headache that won't go away" or "Feel's like someone is sitting on my chest",

What you have here is one of the most troubling long-term symptoms. Weight loss and chronic fatigue is damned serious, but unfortunately it is also a common symptom to about half of the medical texts.

If you are posting to try and justify an out-of-pocket doctor bill expense, then you have my blessing.

If the doc does not do a full physical, including complete blood work and a finger-in-the-bum, you need to explain politely that you are not leaving without an explanation.

Every system can present with your symptoms, from bowel to depression, from bones to lungs... there is something wrong!

If you were here standing beside me, I would not let you leave my sight until I had physically taken you to a doctor. Do it.
