Hello,
In the case of low intake of food, there are all chances of developing low blood sugar level and hypoglycemic symptoms of weakness, tremors and fainting.
Though appetite stimulation can be obtained via multi vitamin capsules and supportive aids, any underlying infection or GI upset from other cardiac drugs must be evaluated in this case for better guidelines.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you all the best.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
