What Causes Appetite Loss And Discomfort Under The Chest?
Hi, I have a problem where I m never really hungry and I never thought very far into it because it had just become normal. September of last year I dropped 30 pounds in a couple months and I assumed it was because of stress and my anorexia that I develop when I m like that. The stress is still here but my eating disorder is long gone and I managed to gain some of the weight back but still more often then not I find it hard to even eat without getting full after only a little food. Twice now I have had fits of just extremely random and aggressive dry heaving one time first thing in the am and again today after not eating much at all. I also have a lot of burping and sometimes mild discomfort under my chest bone
In fact, in such circumstances, we should take thing a bit more seriously.T hough pain epigastrium is common but weight loss and early dumping associated with it needs evaluation. I would advise you should go to your doctor as we recommend endoscopy in such cases which are looking your stomach wit camera scope.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman,
General & Family Physician
