[ninjoy]

[Bangel]

i am not having those symptoms continuously, only from time to time
but i do experience excessive hunger very early in the morning

does anyone know the average weight for a 15 year old male?
is 120lbs too low?

It depends on your height.

im 166cm tall

That's around 5 feet and 5 inches tall... you're at a healthy weight. Your BMI is around 20. 18.5 is underweight, and 24 is overweight. So you could stand to gain some weight, but you're not underweight.

If you're a teenager and you're a boy, chances are you are still growing a lot and you're still filling in to your body. Most young men grow fast and their bodies have to catch up. I wouldn't worry too much about you being 'underweight'. However the whole list of other symptoms still isn't good, and it could point to something else.
Again, please go see a physician about it. Only one can tell you for sure (or not for sure) as to whats going on.

When you listed them like that I thought you had been. If you havn't been then I doubt you should worry.

A yearly checkup with your doctor is still a good idea though.

Whenever you're experiencing anything out of the ordinary when it comes to your health, write down exactly what you're feeling and make an appointment with your doctor. If you think you have a tapeworm, see your doctor. If you think you're under weight, talk with your doctor. Your doctor is there to help you and answer questions that you have. I personally don't trust anything I read on the internet when it comes to issues relating to my health. Your doctor knows best.

Oh my God, googling medical things is one of the stupidest things ever.

Go and see a doctor if you're that worried.

Doctor.
Go. Now. Why are you still reading? go.

It could be food poisoning, or you could have some very severe medical issues, and thats from some rather sketchy experience so go.

As a rule of thumb you should get a checkup every six months or so if you show any symptoms of genetic illness (IE: in my family it's heart disease and cancer, so I get those checked on ever now and then. Rather I should, but I'm terrible for it so theres every chance I'll just drop dead one day like most of my family has)

I have epilepsy! I squint whenever a bright light shines in my eyes! Oh noes!

Listen to Igg folks, googling medicine is not good. In fact, googling medicine is the opposite of good (which, according to google, is apathy).
