Brief Answer:
Upper GI endoscopy
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have gone through your reports.
Your CT scan abdomen is normal.
Since you are not feeling hungry for past 15 days and stomach not stimulating hungryness i will advise you to do an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
Since you are not having any other symptoms like passing blood out with your faeces and pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen you are not suffering from cancer and it is a psychological problem and you do not need to worry.
I will advise you to take tablet alprazolam at night with your doctors advise.
