Something isn't right.

I still haven't eaten , Since coming out of hospital I haven't eaten enough to keep a mouse alive . I just had to come home from Asda because I felt weak unsteady on my feet and paranoid which I haven't felt that feeling in years. I am blaming my Achalasia for not eating but I haven't an appetite anyway.

I had a traumatizing event 3 weeks ago where my lungs just seized up and I couldn't breathe no matter how hard I tried air would not go into my lungs I thought "this is it I'm dying" but ambulance got here in minutes and I was whisked off/ I know I was unconscious when I got to the hospital. Anyway , its not looking good. 55 years old I didn't think I'd reach this far anyway most of my old friends has died mostly through abusing the body. I just haven't been right since then. I haven't even bathed and I used to shower at least 3 times a week. I am not myself . I will go to Doctors Monday , see what he has to say. I have appointment with chest clinic on the 24 but I am not up to going don't know if there will be parking space . I am now officially worried.

Hi there, that's awful you are certainly going through it. I think seeing the doctor on Monday is a good idea. You have to try and eat though. Did you manage to get some food when you were there?

Daily exercise, meditation can help you improve your appetite. You need a healthy and nutritious diet anyway. Great you have doctor's appointment!

I think it might be the experience you had with your lungs which has scared you and why wouldn't it , it sounded very traumatic, in regards to the eating problem I came out of hospital 18 months ago following a terrible bout of sepsis.. I couldn't eat and what kept me going was milk shake drinks from the chemist their called Ensure plus and come in all different flavors they are about £2 each, you can get them on prescription if your dr sees how bad you are, mine did and one drink contains everything in a full meal, they help.. xx
