Hello I have lost 28 pounds since October . Worry that it might be cancer or something . I been to the doctor they did full blood work and a upper endoscopy and a abdomen ct scan all show nothing , could anxiety your lose that much weight . Food does not make me sick. I just never get the hungry feeling
Anxiety and stress can cause a weight loss, you have had a long tranche of tests and all seem clear, this should help in regaining your confidence.
I do not know if you have been on a diet, or if you are not eating sufficient, Has your GP asked regards the foods you eat ?
It may be a good idea to discuss your food intake with your GP. He can arrange a an appointment with a dietician

Hi Have you had thyroid hormone and antibodies tested? Thyroid issues can also cause weight loss. It happened to me and the weight just literally dropped of me. It is scary. I had an overactive thyroid.
Sometimes drs do not test for this. Take care .
I’d say Herman that no diet in the world can beat anxiety and depression.You burn so many calories being anxious .people can not believe how much I eat as I am tiny and it’s all because I have palpitations 24 /7 Take care
Thyroid been checked all is good . Could anxiety make you never have the hungry feeling ?
I lost 50 pounds since August mostly bc of my heart palpitations. after I would eat my heart rate would go up and I'd feel nausea and worried. also I stopped drinking so that played a big roll. but my palpitations have gotten better so I'm enjoying food s bit more but still trying to lose more weight lol
Hi!
I know how you feel! Since maybe November is not not hungry the thought of food to me just isn’t appealing even when not in an anxious state, don’t get me wrong I have anxiety disorder so am anxious atleast half the day! I also am worried it’s cancer, I have had 2 rounds of bloods done all fine! Although I have a lump in my mouth ( dr not dentist seem worried) a lump in my neck and pain with cartilage rubbing against my hyoid bone! ( apparently) but won’t ever get it scanned they say it’s ok! And also problems with my chest so scared I have lung cancer! Sats rest normal 98 acctually! Bloods fine! Awaiting chest x Ray results and then now I’m back to why the hell am I not hungry or wanting food and I feel now I’m becoming fixated and worried how thin I am and how little I’m eating or not wanting food I could go all day and now eat until my stomach hurts because it’s so hungry but still don’t want food I know hat I have too! So I really feel your pain, I’m 26 and weighed between 7 - 7.5 stone before all this and measure 5.1,
