Weight loss.: If the numbers you have given are accurate, you have lost about 1/4 of your bodyweight unintentionally. I would go back to your general doctor for an evaluation as to why you have had such weight loss. If the doctor does not evaluate it, you can always consider a second opinion. It doesn't sound normal to me, with the small amount of information I have available here. Good luck.
