Question Recently I have been extremely hungry, more so than usual I have been eating a lot. I went to the gym 3 times last week and walked about 5 miles. I thought that might be it but now I am not sure. I have been gaining weight like crazy, and now my head hurts and my stomach is sick. I also have been having some breathing trouble at night. I would like to know (if you can help) what is wrong with my stomach and maybe what I can do to help it.
Answer Dear Kelly,
Thank you for writing me keeping in mind I am not a doctor but it seems to me like you need to see a doctor and let them run some tests on you. Maybe see if you are becoming diabetic for staying hungry can be a symptom. Sorry I cannot help more
