Question : hi. ive been under extreme stress and pressure the past few months. every time it seems to be passing i feel horrible physically afterwards. very anxious, always painfully hungry to the point of nausea and dizzy. it also becomes hard to be around loud noises and busy places. it overwhelms me. and its always worse in the mornings/afternoon.

is it normal to feel so badly after stress? and can anxiety/stress cause excessive hunger? ill be ok when i wake up but it doesnt take much once i get out of bed for symptoms to start. Especislly the hunger... and it doesnt feel like normal hunger... its like instant nauseous/woozy hunger even when im not hungry. And even after i eat ill feel a bit better but still will feel all the symptoms as if i never ate.

ive never had blood sugar issues though my dad had diabetes.

and it always feels better when im moving and worse whentrying to rest.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms are related to the stress. Everyone experiences such symptoms when dealing with stress. If all blood tests have been done and no other diagnosis found, then this is stress related. You can try exercising daily (gym, walk, stretches), drink cleaner water to avoid gastro-intestinal issues, Learn some relaxation techniques like progressive muscle relaxation or yog nidra, listen to some knowledge on positive thoughts.
