I’m a 24 year old male. Starting 2 years ago I started getting bad acid indigestion and loss of appetite. The loss of appetite would last 2-3 weeks and then it would go away and my hunger would come back. I would feel normal for 2-4 months and then my loss of appetite would come back again for a couple weeks and then things would subside. When I lose my appetite I feel bloated and discomfort in my abdomen. I don’t have any pain after I eat, just the feeling of always being full of bloated.
It flared up 2 months ago and my appetite has pretty much been gone since then. Once every couple days I’ll feel a little hungry but rarely. I currently feel bloated and tightness in my upper left abdomen. Also I have back pain, opposite of where the stomach sits, that shoots into my shoulder blade and my hip sometimes.
Last week I went to my doctor to talk about the loss of appetite and he did a blood count and organ blood test and ordered me to do an x Ray. He had no concern since I have no pain after eating, no weight loss, fever, fatigue or night sweats. I ended up skipping the X-ray after I got my blood test back and everything came back normal. I’m regular and my stool color is normal. But my loss of appetite is still here. I feel constantly bloated. Sometimes it feels like my stomach isn’t producing enough acid?
Should I go back to the doctor? Should I be concerned about cancer? Could a back injury cause loss of appetite? Could this be the early stages of cancer?
