What Causes Loss Of Appetite, Itchy Ankles And Muscular Pain In The Legs?

Posted on Thu, 8 Jun 2017

Question: I hope so. I have just been experiencing a sudden loss of taste, itching around my ankles, and a lot of muscle pain in my lower legs. (I think the muscle pain is due to the fact that I have been primarily using a recumbent bicycle for exercise, and Saturday morning I switched to an elliptical machine.) The sudden loss of taste has got my attention. I am a coffee fanatic, and right now, I have no interest in coffee. Nothing else has much flavor.

Thank you. My cell phone is 0000. Email is YYYY@YYYY .

Ageusia

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic and thanks for putting up the query,

Loss of taste suddenly can be due to some nasal infections or neurological or idiopathic.

Please tell me do you have any history of nasal or throat infection in the recent past?

Any history of smoking or tobacco use?
Any chronic drug use?
Any history of head injury or fall?

Please follow up with the required information so that I can suggest you better.
Awaiting..
Thanks and regards
