Yes, you should contact your doctor. It can depend on what you are sick with, but whatever it is, you should consult your primary health care professional. It can be very bad for some people and not good for others. It likely does represent a loss of a lot of water weight because fat does not burn away that quickly. You are probably either dehydrated or at risk of serious dehydration from that. Loss of fluids in that amount from your body could come from profuse sweating with fever, vomiting, diarrhea or overuse of diuretics.

Can you lose weight by depression?

Yes it is quite possible. I lost 24 lbs when my Mom was sick and she died. I was depressed over the loss of my Mom and was in a bad marriage. I then lost 39 lbs 8 years later when going through a divorce and I was depressed. I was on Paxilfor depression and my Dr. told me that Paxilsometimes will cause you to lose weight. I did not have much of an appetite on PaxilThis is all from personal experience, I am not a professional or Dr. or anything. This is not a good way to lose weight. Watching your diet and your portions, and exercise are the best way to lose weight and keep it off.
