Try this as well...

Lack of appetite or taste, a ‘tinny’, ‘metallic’ or ‘ammonia’ smell or taste

What you feel:

Sometimes you just don’t feel like eating, or the thought of food is unappealing. Or, that even though you are eating, the food has no taste or is unsatisfying.

You have a persistent ‘tinny’, ‘metallic’ or ‘ammonia’ smell in your nose, or you taste it often and it’s not from your food or environment. Often it’s just there, but you can’t figure out why

What causes this:

Similar to the other stomach related symptoms, loss of appetite is a result of an upset stomach due to the sustained increase in digestive action. Loss of taste occurs because taste buds are nerves, and an over stimulated nervous system can send false signals to the brain which means that sometimes we can experience odd, dulled or incorrect sensory perceptions (since our receptive senses are controlled and interpreted by the nervous system). The loss of taste because of this miscommunication or misinterpretation by the over stimulated nervous does occur. This is another example of how we can receive incorrect or inaccurate sensory perceptions because of an over stimulated nervous system.


The only remedy for this symptom is rest so that the nervous system can regain its health.

[:O] im quite shocked that this can be a symptom of anxiety!!

thing is though im feeling very calm, not had a panic attack in over 2 weeks but i do still think about my health all the time so maybe im being anxious subconsciously maybe??? is that possible [?]

thanks for the info ladies, i really appreciate it and its good to know that its nothing serious to my health [:X]
