unexplained weight loss

I am 30 years old with 3 children (ages 15 mos, 3yrs, and 11yrs) and have been losing weight unintentionally for the past 2 months. I am 5'3 and currently weigh only 90 lbs. My periods have been irregular since July (3 periods since July) as well. For the past 2-3 weeks I have been taking in twice the normal calories & fat to try and regain some of my weight, but rather than gain I have lost another pound. Headaches have become frequent along w/some nausea (no vomiting). I am becoming weak and have very little energy. Night sweats and hair loss have also become a problem.

My question is....is this something I should first see my OB/GYN about, or would it be smarter in your opinion to just make a trip to the ER so I can have tests run? Any idea what could be causing this also?

Thanks so much,
