Starving hungry ALL the time

[Onemorefortheroad]

I'm 38 years old. Always had a 'healthy' appetite but in the last few weeks I am hungry ALL the time. Been trying to keep drinking loads of water, eating high protein foods but what could this be? Thyroid? Peri-menopause? Just because? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣 I can't keep eating at the rate I'm eating so not sure what to do 😭

Pregnant?

This is me. I get home from work and just eat and eat and eat.

Hoping not pregnant. Unlikely as have a coil but no periods so wouldn't even know.

It's unreal how much I can eat and still feel really hungry as if I haven't ate at all 😩

Ive been feeling this hungry since i put the coil... was it recent for you?

The Mirena coil did that to me. Are you on any hormonal contraceptives?

I'd say hyperthyroid - it is how I feel in waves but I have a lot of deficiencies so also get nausea and tummy pains - well, I think that is why (not got to the bottom of it yet). Get your T3 and T4 levels checked. Do you get a racing heat and sudden anxiety or depression? I have been cycling through anemia and anxiety diagnosis for years and it turns out the palpitations, fainting and intense fear and worry is probably hyperthyroidism. I am on beta blockers for that now but probably need a stronger dose as it is still affecting my mood and sleep.

Also meant to ask if you are loosing weight? I've lost fat, visceral fat and muscle since September no matter what I eat - can't seem to keep it on.

Worms?

Not to worry you but I had a coil and was suddenly starving and it was because I was pregnant 😬

But it also could be hormonal, or thyroid related. I’d book in for some blood work.

Not losing weight, no. My Mum has thyroid issues so wonder if it could be that.
Had mirena coils in for about 8 years but this one was put in last year. I do read that they can cause weight gain 🙄 it's just the suddenness that it's come on. Will see how it goes and maybe speak to the GP if it doesn't settle down

I was constantly hungry when I was anemic

Any new medication?adult Dd was starving when she started on sertraline
