Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 67 years old, 5 in height, and weight 107 pounds. I lost my husband 20 months ago. Now, I am dealing with my father s Alzheimer s Disease. I have not eaten as much as previously since my husband died, but for the past week I have had a constant stomach ache in the middle of my abdomen and more loss of appetite than previously. Food has no appeal. I am slowly losing weight. Could this just be stress-related?
Loss of appetite can be due to stress. However, in your case, appetite has deteriorated suddenly and is accompanied by a constant stomach ache. Therefore, you should consult a surgeon. Hope this answers your question.
