Suffering With OCD, High BP, Have Extremely Low Appetite Post Concussion, Weight Loss. How Can I Overcome This?
I had a severe concussion in April and since then I feel no hunger pains. I have lost about 40lbs. and force myself to eat atleast one meal a day even though I m not hungry. I have OCD and High Blood Pressure . I do workout and walk about a mile a day. Can you point me in the direction that I need to go. Thank You, Brenda McKenzie
Hi Brenda
It seems that you have an eating disorder which are frequently known to co-exist with OCD. This has nothing to do with the concussion ( unless you damaged a part of your hypothalamus which is an almost impossible event)
This can severely affect your health. I would suggest that you see a psychiatrist and a therapist. There are other issues that we would need to address. If you are not eating at all, make sure you dont workout.
Hope that helps
Regards
