Excessive Hunger Even After Eating. What Could Be The Cause?

hi, for aabout a week now I ve been experiencing a constant feeling of hunger no matter how much I eat. I eat all health home cooked meals so its not like I m just filling myself with unbeneficial fillers. for example last night i ate a huge steak, a large amount of potatoes and asparagus and felt life I had not ate all day afterward. I had 2 peanut butter sandwiches about an hour later and still went to bed feeling hungry. I am average size for my height and age and very healthy lifestyle.

Hi,
Thanks for posting query.
This type of increased appetite is very common in diabetes and some CNS tumor so please do a blood for fasting and post prandial glucose estimation as early as possible and consult your physician for further management.
Wish you a speedy recovery.
Regards,
Dr Sourav Ganguly
