That happened to my brother-in-law many years ago. He was rapidly losing weight for no apparent reason, and was being treated by a ENT for sinus problems. When he finally reached 135 lbs. and was barely able to walk, we rushed him to a walk-in clinic where a visiting internist correctly diagnosed him with Graves' Disease. He was immediately put into the hospital, and he today weighs a respectable, if slightly overweight, 195 lbs.
