Hello, Doctor. Since childhood, I have never had a good appetite and do not feel like eating anything. When I do eat, I quickly feel nauseous and want to vomit. I have tried multiple weight gain medications to improve my appetite, but whenever I stop taking them, I lose weight and my appetite diminishes again. What could be the cause of this? I hope to receive your advice. Thank you.

Answer

Hello! Loss of appetite and nausea after eating can be symptoms of various medical conditions, such as gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or liver and biliary disorders. To determine the exact cause of feeling hungry but not having an appetite, along with nausea while eating, a doctor would need to gather more information about your medical history and specific symptoms.

Therefore, you may consider scheduling a visit to a hospital within the Vinmec Healthcare System for a specialized examination. The doctors will diagnose your condition and provide the most effective treatment plan.

Thank you for trusting Vinmec with your question. We hope to see you soon for a more in-depth consultation.
Best regards!
