Talk to General Physician on Weak (Skinny) Body
Asking For Self, Male 20, Quetta
Hi, I'm almost 20 years old, but my body is very weak. My height is around 160 cm, and weight is 55 kg. I don't suffer from any disease, but I'm concerned about my weight, body posture and height. My body posture, especially arm is as thin as a 14-15 year old. Some people suggest to take vitamin pills. I don't know what to do.
I'm attaching my arms picture.
Looking for suggestions.
Thanks.

No need to worry everyone has different metabolism. Eat healthier and balanced diet. Take portions of protein, carbs and fat.
Use Shakes (Banana, apple etc)
Hello there,
Assalaam'o'alaikum!
Hope you are well. Regarding your concern let me tell you first that the measurements you have according to them your Bodaay Mass index is 21.5 which is considered normal. Besides that if you look weak and thin you should tell me first how much do you eat, do you take three time meals and what you eat whole day? Do you have abdominal pain or diarrhea(loose motion) often ? and is your stool normal any worms or bleed in stool? If there is no illness associated/related to this then you don't need to worry. As long as you are healthy physical stature improves with age, dietary modification and supplement intake. For further management plan kindly reply to these questions.
Have a good health and good day.
Thanks

W. Salam and thanks for caring.
To answer your questions, I should say that I don't suffer from any of the problems you mentioned, but sometimes my stomach hurts when I eat a spicy food. Also, I can't eat "heavy foods" such as beans. Often, I don't eat a lot and feel full. In the mornings, I try to drink milk or take dairy items, but feel full after taking very little of them.
Thanks.

Okay. It's good that you are optimist that you don't have a medical condition but as a doctor I'd suggest you to make sure by answering few of my questions such as do you have stomach ache immediately after eating or does it occur after few hours and do you feel pain on empty stomach. According to your answers I'd ask you to run some tests. I hope that they are clear and then you can easily rely on dietary modification but if not normal then we can treat accordingly.
