Hello,

Welcome to our portal.

Looking at your BMI it is slightly below normal.

You must better see a gastroenterologist and get some basic tests done which is quite possibly a diagnosis even if you do not have any other symptoms. Thyroid profile, CBC, anti-Tg antibodies are some test you should get done.

If all the reports come out to be normal then I would advise you to take tablet Longifene DS (Buclizine) 1 HS which has some role in improving appetite. Test increase your calorie intake.

Regards.

For more information consult an internal medicine physician.
