Sudden loss of appetite?
Hi, A sudden loss of appetite is quite a common thing and this happens to everyone now and then who experiences a temporary loss of appetite. Stress, worry, anxiety, fear, excitement, and emotional conflicts are among the many causes that can lead to a person's loss of appetite. Almost any illness, ranging from the common cold to some chronic illnesses and other potentially fatal diseases, can cause loss of appetite, as can smoking, alcohol, and many medications. The appetite usually returns when the illness abates, but persistent loss of appetite can be a warning sign of a serious underlying disease. So do not panic as it is normal to be less hungry when a person is not feeling well. Do not try to force down foods. Instead, drink more water and plenty of fluids, especially fruit juices. However, if this persists, please seek further medical advice.
Sudden loss of appetite and nausea.?
Relax! I wouldn't get stressed over worrying whether your pregnant because firstly if you were pregnant, your not actually pregnant yet because you only had sex a week ago and because your not, you wouldn't have these symptoms. You said you we're dehydrated well that is most probably the reason why you've lost your appetite because your not drinking enough water which can result in loss of appetite and because your not drinking it results in your throwing up as you can feel sicky or unwell when you havent got enough water. Also it can be due to not getting enough vitamins and minerals and not getting enough nutritional food which can also result in loss of appetite and making you feel sickly I've had loss of appetite before and i don't even know why, i think it's because i was quite stressed out and also i had lost a child and because of that i bled a lot and i hardly drunk anything making me pass out. Im not saying you have miscarried! I would try and eat some healthy food or if you are depressed and worried i would try not to be, afterall during sex you were protected so there is nothing to worry about! Caroline.
Reason for sudden loss of appetite?
Hunger is a natural and important drive for everyone. If you really never get hungry then there may be a problem which needs attended to. It might be something to do with your stomach – say, too much acid or an infection or something. It might be something else entirely – your hormonal system for example. Or it might have become a psychological problem. It is an important problem to understand and the best thing you can do is get yourself checked by your GP to see if he or she can get to the bottom of it for you. It certainly isn't just a variation of normal to have it to this extent for this period of time

Sudden loss of appetite / don't feel hungry anymore?
I'm constantly eating. I can eat a meal and will be hungry again within an hour to an hour and a half again (crazy fast metabolism, I guess). But since about four or five days ago, I've suddenly stopped feeling hungry. I don't feel hungry when I first wake up (which used to be when I was the hungriest) or at any other point in the day. The smell of food makes me feel nauseous. I know I need to eat and try to, but just can't seem to because I feel full before I even put the food in my mouth. This is really, really bad for me since I'm already a skinny girl and am trying to gain weight, but am instead losing weight. On top of that, I typically go out on runs because I enjoy them and I enjoy being outdoors. I still feel as energetic as before, so no weakness or dizziness. The only other symptom is that I seem to be having more trouble than usual falling asleep. A doctor did diagnose me with chronic insomnia some years back, so it's nothing new to me, but I usually end up falling asleep before 3am, but haven't been able to at all these past few days. Can't see a doctor because my family no longer has insurance. As for any other information that may help, I am female, in high school (on summer vacation though), and the above listed symptoms are the only ones.
Real sudden loss of appetite and I'm shivering?
Starting yesterday I have had a VERY sudden loss of appetite that leaves me sick to my stomach when I think about food. Usually I pig out on food when I'm bored, but it all upsets my stomach. I ate today, but had to force myself to finish it because I got too sick. I was on pain meds a few days ago for severe stomach pains brought on by a ruptured ovarian cyst, so idk if thats why. Then again I have also been real stressed out for the past few days, so idk... Also, I'm FREEZING to death! The heat is on in my house (It's on 85!) and I'm usually VERY sensitive to heat, but I'm just so cold :( can anyone explain these two things?
