Suggest Remedies For Loss Of Appetite, Sleep Apnea And Weight Gain

I am a 63 year old male, 5 11 , 225 pounds, who is experiencing loss of appetite but no weight loss. I also have possible sleep apnea as I snore and wake up with a dry mouth, and sometimes a morning headache. My blood pressure is good but high triglycerides, nonsmoker, vegetarian, do yoga three times a week and exercise, drink coffee, take no prescribed meds. I am wondering about the weak appetite, and more weight gain around stomach. I have no chills, fevers, throat swellings, or stomach pain. Thank you.
