It's been a month now that I have a much decreased appetite. I don't feel hungry often, and when I am hungry nothing sounds good. I have to force myself to eat because I'm training for a triathlon, and I don't want to lose much weight. At first, I thought it was stress because I had college finals, but finals are long over. Almost 2 weeks ago I started feeling a little better, but still not the same. Now, since Wednesday I'm back to forcing myself to eat. I could go all day without eating, but I've found the less I eat, the worse I feel. It just seems like something is not right, and I really want to see my Dr. to get the figured out but I don't want to sound like a whinner. Honestly, I have just felt like crap the past month and want to know why I feel this way. Also, I don't know if this is related or anything, but since January I've had very mild chest pain. Almost like a pulled muscle pain which I notice most in the morning, especially when I take a deep breath. But, some days I don't notice the pain at all, so I'm not sure about it.

What scares me most about how I've been feeling is I had a seizure 4 years ago, and prior to it I had a decreased appetite. My Dr. took me off my medication 3 weeks ago, so I'm getting really scared that I'm going to have a seizure. I fear that if I tell my Dr. I'm feeling the same way I did before I had the seizure he'll think I'm just faking all of this to get medication, so I don't know if I should mention that or not.

Any advice is greatly appreciated....thank you!
