Brief Answer:
evaluation for hemangioma
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
1) pain under rib cage is related to hemangioma of liver. Generally hemangioma of small size never cause any symptoms. If its size >10cm or if they press nearby organ then only they cause pain.
2) I have answered your same query before, and i assure you that there is no correlation between hemangioma, stomach cancer, loss of appetite.
3) Stomach cancer cause early satiety, vomiting as first symptom, intestinal cancer cause episodes of blood in stool and anaemia, liver cancer cause pain under rib cage
4) In addition to that all cancer have specific blood test when particular cancer is suspected.
5) Cancer never develop only symptom of loss of appetite.
6) sever anxiety also cause decreased appetite
7) But I suggested before for evaluation with fresh reports (liver triphasic CT scan) not for cancer but to confirm size of hemangioma because hemangioma increase in size sometimes and if it cause severe pain then it require surgery also. But from cancer point of view, loss of appetite only can not be primary symptom for cancer

Brief Answer:
Gastritis or dyspepsia
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
1) Symptoms of heart burn (which relieve on drinking liquid), indigestion, loss of appetite may suggest you may have dyspepsia (indigestion) or gastritis/GERD.
2) In such symptoms you need simple treatment for acidity + indigestion.
3) But if these symptoms are since long time then I suggest you to undergo upper GI endoscopy to find out reason for such episodes. Generally in XXXXXXX population, H.Pylori infection in stomach may cause such episodes of gastritis related symptoms and if so, it require just antibiotic course to remove infection.

Brief Answer:
No need for any blood test
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I do not think that you require any specific blood test for your symptom at present. Of course as your stress induced anxiety reduces, it may improve your appetite also.
Still I suggest to undergo for upper GI endoscopy if your symptoms do not relieve after taking medications for 10-15 days.
Yes your stool report is absolutely normal

Brief Answer:
No symptoms related to cancer
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I apologize for late reply.
Yes, you can eat without hungriness.
If thought of having symptoms related to cancer, repeatedly come in your mind then you should consider possibility of psychosomatic disorders also.
In this situation generally, patient thinks about having symptoms for particular disease in absence of that disease. But this diagnosis must come after eliminating all other possibility. It is no serious problem but it require psychological counselling and sometimes medication for anxiety.
If your all other reports come negative then there might be possibility of having this.

Brief Answer:
Symptoms of stomach cancer are different
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
If you are asking specifically for stomach cancer then common symptoms are upper abdominal pain, blood in vomiting (occasionally), early satiety (patient feel hungry but feel satisfied after small food only), vomiting containing food particles.
Symptoms of loss of appetite and loss of weight will be so severe in stomach cancer that patient can not eat at all, he/she become so thin (weight loss of 15-20 kg).
Definitely there is no urgency to go for endoscopy as your symptoms are either related to gastritis/indigestion or it is associated with psychosomatic disorder (fear of having disease). I suggested to go for endoscopy only and only if you have these symptoms continued even after complete course of medications
