Weight loss

[mariner8993]

Anyone have extreme weight loss with their anxiety? I started having anxiety and panic attacks a couple months ago due to stress from my young son’s anxiety and depression. One day I had to go to the ER because I thought I was having a heart attack. After all normal test results and blood work the anxiety has stayed. Zoloft is helping a little but still have bad days here and there. I’ve lost more that 10% of my body weight (18 lbs) in less than 2 months. A small part of it I can equate to less appetite and eating better cause if my health scare but I think most of it is because of my stress. It’s also weird that the weight loss seems to be happening in strange places - my legs have gotten really skinny and I’ve lost weight in my but that it hurts to sit down on a hard surface. Has this weight loss/loss in legs happened to anyone else?

I've read that low appetite is very common in people with anxiety/depression. When under continuous stress nutrition isnt absorbed into your body as well. Leading to weight loss. You should always have a doctor's evaluation if you feel compelled by your symptoms. Also, If a person does not consume enough calories from carbs over a given period,the body enters into Ketosis. Stress and anxiety/depression can speed up this process. The body resorts to burning Fat instead of sugar or carbs. Weight loss is fast during this process add stress and it's expedited. I have a web link that can explain this in full. Hope this helps you and gives you some assurance. Take Care Friend!😊✌👍
