What Causes Sickness After Eating?
Question: Hello,
I've always been very slim but in the last few months I've got a problem with eating,I eat very little and after I do eat I feel sick,even the smell of the food makes me feel sick. Also,I feel like I have no energy, I'm working hard but when I do have time off all I want to do is rest or sleep. I've never been to a doctor before because I thought it's nothing serious(I've never been a big eater anyway). Also,sometimes i can feel my heart beating faster than it usually does and I don't really know if that's because I'm not eating properly.I'm 22 and I would really wanna enjoy my food,the worst think is when I go out with my friends and I order something but then I don't want it because I just feel full or sick. My question is : is it something I should really worry about?

Brief Answer:
Get LFT done and let us know your BMI.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
What is your weight and height? By this we can calculate your BMI. Then only can I say whether you will need any treatment for weight management.
The problems you are facing seem to be due to intake of less than the minimum required calories your body needs for normal functioning. I feel you should see a Gastroenterologist for the sick feeling on seeing or smelling food. Also, you should get your liver function tests of Albumin and Globulin along with total proteins done. Its a blood test which will tell us about your nutritional status.
I usually advice my patients Tab Pantoprazole 40mg on empty stomach if these problems are due to increased stomach acid secretion. You can try that for a week or ten days. You might feel better.
Please do get this done and tell us with the above details.
Do not worry. The problem can be managed and we will help you along.
Take care,
