Your : Your symptoms are concerning and you should have a medical evaluation. That is an abnormal amount of time to have bleeding, and it sounds like your bleeding is very heavy. The weight loss is concerning as well. Please seek a medical evaluation. If you have increased bleeding such as greater than 3 pads an hour, feel lightheaded, or have pain then you must be seen as an emergency.

Yes, concerned: Yes, you should be concerned, as this is too much bleeding and can cause anemia. Weight loss can cause hormonal disruptions of your menstrual cycle as well as more significant diseases. Have a GYN MD sort out the problem for you at a visit ASAP.
