Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been having this issue with not having an appetite, and when I do think of eating, I get nauseous. And this has been going on for about a year. Then about a month ago, I started retaking water in my feet and calves out of the blue. And then after I got the water weight off, I started losing weight faster then before. The last week I have been losing weight at up to a pound a day. And I am NOT trying to lose weight.
