What Causes Poor Appetite?

I have had nausea, vomiting up my food, and low to no appetite all week. Also, abdominal pain and a lot of gas. It just started, but my appetite has been getting progressively less. I m always feeling nauseous, and when I do eat, I can t eat much without gagging on my food and feeling like I m going to vomit. Sometimes I do vomit my food back up. It s like I don t have the space in my stomach for what I m eating. I have type II Diabetes, and Hypertension, and I take medication daily for both. Could it be my medication?

Hello and welcome to health care magic

Looking at your history this could be due to any of following
Drug induced gastritis
Liver disease like hepatitis
pancreatitis or gall stone
mal absorption syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease

in my opinion you should consult a gastroenterologist for examination and investigations like blood test for hemoglobin CBC Liver function test and imaging like ultrasound or an endoscopy

you can take omeprazole plus antacids for stomach hyperacidity
have plenty of fluids and fresh fruits
Have adequate sleep for at least 6 to 8 hours
avoid stress and anxiety as well as smoking and alcohol
avoid fried fatty food and carbonated drinks

Hope this helps you
best wishes
