I'm really worried about some health issues I've been having lately. Over the past few weeks, I've lost weight pretty quickly, dropping from 81.2kg on January 1st to 73.3kg by January 26th. I've also been dealing with nerve pull pain in my chest. I've had tests done like ECG, Echo, CT scan, and X-ray, but nothing's been diagnosed. For a few days, I felt okay, but now I'm dealing with gas, chest pain, a cough, headaches, and the weight loss is still happening. I get tired really easily and had night sweats one night, plus I sometimes get palpitations. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should my next steps be?
