[unknown101]

Hi everyone, I'm 16 years old, 5'10.5, about 175 and over 25% bf. I am having some serious problems, i'm just going to list them.

- It's extremely hard for me to lose weight
- After I exercise, i feel sore for a good 4-5 days (in other words my recovery times is ridiculous, once i was sore for a week from a set of lunges!!! )
- always depressed (serious anxiety, terrible at social situations)
- losing a ton of hair ( literally going bald at 16)
- no energy at all
- hard time sleeping, don't get enough sleep no matter what i do.
- get fat very easily
- very weak
- i have small limbs (feet,hands,arms,legs, & etc.) my little brothers limbs are longer then mine!
- can't stay focused in school , failing all my classes..



I don't know what to do? I wanna visit a doctor but I don't know what kind?


Thanks

Hi there.....I think it's best you visit a Family doctor to get a full work up.
Anxiety alone causes a lof of the symptons you're describing.

As for small limbs, well you're still growing so I would not worry too much about that

hope this helps

Agreed with above advice. See a doctor.

Hello and welcome,

It is unfortunate that it couldn't be under better circumstances.

I also think it would be a good idea to see your GP/family doctor.

He will refer you to any specialists that you may need to see, such as an endocrinologist.

Have you spoken to one of your parents or guardian about your concerns?

I will let you in on a little secret.

Being a teen-ager really, really sucks despite all the great teen movies and rubbish you see on the telly.

I am sure some people have a great time, but your body and brain are growing so much, a lot of things seem really odd, difficult and confusing.

thanks guys, ill tell my dad to take me to a doctor.

 

[Tatyana]

Fab, would you let us know how you get on?

Some of us do worry

 

[blueta2]

Hey dude, like Tat said, please let us know how it goes. Would love to hear from you again

 

[unknown101]

my dad won't take me to the doctors even when i told him what's wrong, gonna have to go by myself. what should i tell the doctor, tbh i never goto the doctor, last time i went was probably 2 years ago!

 

[blueta2]

Why won't he take you? Tha's silly. How about an aunt, mom, teacher?
If no one will take you, are you able to find a family doctor in your area? If so, make the appoint. And you can print out what your wrote above and just bring it to him.
He will ask all the questions and get to the bottom of your issues

Right on dude. Always good to take care of yourself.
You sound like a smart guy

Please let me know

I bet your dad doesn't think there is anything wrong.

However, for your own peace of mind, then you may want to go.

I think you are considered an adult, and you do not need parental consent, nor do they need to know that you have seen a doctor.

Not to label you already but the symptoms you are describing are very classic for hypothyroidism. Make sure your doc gets a TSH level.
