Hello,

She is on polypharmacy. Many of these drugs can cause loss of appetite and fatigue. Serum electrolytes need to be done to exclude any hyponatremia to cause anorexia and fatigue, as she is on Furosemide.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
