Suggest Remedies For Loss Of Appetite, Sleep Apnea And Weight Gain
I am a 63 year old male, 5 11 , 225 pounds, who is experiencing loss of appetite but no weight loss. I also have possible sleep apnea as I snore and wake up with a dry mouth, and sometimes a morning headache. My blood pressure is good but high triglycerides, nonsmoker, vegetarian, do yoga three times a week and exercise, drink coffee, take no prescribed meds. I am wondering about the weak appetite, and more weight gain around stomach. I have no chills, fevers, throat swellings, or stomach pain. Thank you.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have problem of loss of appetite, sleep apnea and weight gain . Well i would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper evaluation of report ,without any delay because sleep apnea sometimes leads to heart attack . Loss of appetite or weight gain can also occur due to hypothyroidism . Doctor may recommend CPAP machine to correct the problem. I would suggest you to
- Along with CPAP machine your should do light exercises.
- Control your diet and lose some weight.

Do not ignore this problem as sleeping apnea can lean to heart attack . Doctor may also refer you to endocrinologist fir thyroid problem .
