Back to the GP last week after initial visit about weight loss.A stone in the last year ,but more than half of that in the last two months.And I'm not big to start with.A petite frame and size 10 last decade or so.I was delighted to be a bit trimmer,but now feel very worried - which I know won't help as anxiety can cause weight loss and I can be a bit of a stress head when there's lots going on.And the last year has seen two bereavements and a house move.So that's what I put the initial drop in weight down to.
However it's getting me down,and comments from people that aren't close family or friends about how skinny I'm looking aren't helpful.I doubt they would greet someone with my goodness you're looking fat today !
Then 10 days ago I had a huge flare up if what I was told was Gastritis and put on Omeprazole.It is slowly settling ,but it's still sore when I eat and my throat is dry and voice croaky.Especially in the mornings.I'm trying to build myself up,but can only manage small portions so nibbling nuts etc in between.
Has anyone else lost a lot of weight like this ? How long did an acute flare up take to settle.Think this has been coming on for a while due to the throat clearing and mucous thing.I'm being referred to a general physician as first as all my bloods are normal so thyroid and diabetes not the cause of the weight loss.
Thanks for any replies.
