Maybe: This is unusual. Recommend scheduling your annual exam with your primary doctor. S/he may decide to run a few screening tests in addition to a thorough physical exam.

Weight loss: An unintentional weight loss of 35 lbs at your age and weight should be evaluated by a physician. Please make an appointment with your primary care doctor for a complete history and evaluation.
