Get it evaluated: There are numerous physical causes and even emotional causes such as depression. See a doctor and an evaluation will determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

See physician: It could be as simple as depression or be part of an underlying disease. Cancer is less likely at your age, but connective tissue (e.g., lupus) or renal disease have to be considered. Physician evaluation essential - without delay.
