What Causes Loss Of Appetite, Tiredness, Shortness Of Breath And Weight Loss?
My mother has: Loss of appetite, weight loss of course, anemia (not low iron cause), shortness of breath, tiredness, morning vomiting. This has been going on since early April of this year. She has had every blood test, a CT scan, and a temporal vein biopsy and the doctors still cannot find what is wrong with her. They have tested from everything from internal bleeding to Hep C. She has done the steroid treatment with no avail. She is currently seeing her Primary, Rheumatoid Arthritis specialist, and her Oncologist.

Hello,
I think she should check thyroid hormone levels because hyperthyroidism may be a cause. Also, another cause may be pancreatitis or other pancreatic disorders.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
