Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Loss of appetite is an important finding of serious underlying diseases or may be caused by simple problems like acid poetic disorders.
Do you have any fever, headache, jaundice, pain abdomen, decreased sleep etc. Please let me know.
You should get blood investigations to starting, complete blood counts, renal function test, liver function test, ESR and CRP, Stool for general examination, random blood sugar levels, a chest Xray and an ultrasound of abdomen will be helpful in making a diagnosis and streamlining the further course of management.
I hope the advise will be helpful for you.
