Health Tip: Causes of Appetite Loss

(HealthDay News) — Any illness can reduce or eliminate your appetite. But if the illness is treatable, appetite should return after treatment, says MedlinePlus.

MedlinePlus mentions potential causes of appetite loss:

  1. Emotions such as sadness, depression or grief.

  2. Serious illnesses such as cancer or HIV.

  3. Use of certain medications or street drugs.

  4. Hypothyroidism.

  5. Pregnancy.

  6. Aging.

Contact a doctor if you are losing a lot of weight without trying, or if decreased appetite occurs along with other symptoms.
