Lack Of Appetite, Elevated Heart Rate, Headaches And Chest Pain. Anxiety Attacks?
Hi, I am a 23 yr old female. I have no appetite but when I do try to eat I feel very sick. I manage to eat a little bit but nothing substantial. I get pains, racing heart, burping, headaches, my stomach feels hard, chest pain, and I have lost at least 8 pounds. I am constantly worrying that something is medically wrong and now it is caused my anxiety attacks. I have an endoscopy coming up in the next week. Do you think this could be stomach cancer (my grandfather passed away suddenly of that) or any other probable suggestions? I am e trembly worried and scared?

Hi, sorry to hear your problem.
Since you are 23 years old I don't think you will have stomach cancer, and since your grandfather got stomach cancer doesn't mean you will get it. might be he had all the risk factors of cancer which you don't have. And your regurgitation can be taken care by proton pump inhibitors and your appetite can be increased by cyproheptadine.
wish you a good health.
