Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Loss of appetite may be due to many reasons,
Fever,
depression.
tension,
drug dependence ,
infectious disease,
jaundice.
First of all please take complete history of illness , if any.
Sudden loss of appetite may be due to depression and drugs.
Consult a psychiatrist and get his opinion.
If no any psychological reason than consult a physician and get his opinion.
Good luck.
