If your appetite suddenly increases, beware of these four diseases

It is said that being able to eat is a blessing, but if you eat too much, in addition to being wary of obesity, you must also be wary of the possibility that you may have contracted a certain disease. For example, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, etc. may cause a sudden increase in appetite.

If your appetite suddenly increases, beware of 4 diseases

diabetes

Because a large amount of glucose is excreted in the urine, the sugar cannot be fully absorbed by the human body, which stimulates the brain's eating center in a feedback manner, causing the patient to be in a state of hunger all the time. In addition to eating more, most diabetics also have the "three more and one less" symptoms of thirst, frequent urination, and weight loss.

Hyperthyroidism

Due to the large amount of thyroid hormone secretion, the metabolism of protein, carbohydrates and fat in the body increases, resulting in excessive heat energy consumption, and various manifestations of hypermetabolism appear accordingly, such as sweating, palpitations, and weight loss. In addition, the excitement symptoms of various organ systems are also obvious, including insomnia, bad temper, hand tremors, bulging eyes, headaches, high blood pressure and enlarged thyroid gland.

Hypercortisolism

After the onset of the disease, patients develop hyperphagia and are abnormally obese, with fat on the face, and fat accumulation in the chest and abdomen. However, the limbs are not obese and are sometimes even thin, forming a sharp contrast with the obese torso, so it is also called "centripetal obesity."

Bulimia nervosa

This type of patients do not have any organic diseases, but they often feel hungry and always feel not full no matter how much they eat. They usually "faint" when they cannot eat for a while.
