Hello and welcome to HCM,
Loss of appetite can occur in number of conditions.
Common conditions which cause loss of appetite are infections like tuberculosis and malignancies.
Certain base line investigations are required like complete hemogram, ESR, thyroid function test, X-ray chest and ultrasound abdomen.
These base line investigations will determine the organ/ organ system which is the likely site of disease.
Thanks and take care
