Underweight . . .: Using http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmi-m.htm to calculate body mass index, you're considered underweight w/BMI 15.9 (normal 18.5-24.9). Potentially, you're malnourished, possibly even anemic, which could cause your symptoms. You need to go see your family doc immediately for complete evaluation. Do not wait!
