Weight loss and anxiety (or cancer?)

[livethelife]

Just wondering if anyone else has had weight loss (along with anxiety) even though they feel that they are eating enough. I have lost 5 lbs since the beginning of Feb - my appetite is not great but I am really making an effort to get 3 good quality meals in. I have this along with upper back pain so I have concerns that I have some type of cancer and that that is why I am losing weight.

I did have a full panel of blood work done last week and all was normal. I also had a chest and spine X-ray 4 weeks ago. I’m a mess

Weight loss is one of the most common symptoms of anxiety. You say your appetite is not great, you burn more calories when anxious and you only need to under eat a couple of hundred calories a day to lose a pound a week.
