    • I was going to say although i am not a medical expert, I wouod be more concerned about medication side effects or underlying medical problem. However, I googked it and found this answer.” The medical term for a loss of appetite is anorexia. When you have a loss of appetite, you don’t feel hungry. Anorexia isn’t the same as the eating disorder anorexia nervosa. A person diagnosed with anorexia nervosa may feel hungry but restricts food intake” I hope that helps answer yoir questuon and I hope you get the help you need. Please know I am not a medical professional and really don’t know.
