Can throat drying, respiratory distress, and appetite loss be caused by stress?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am experiencing respiratory complications, loss of appetite, and throat drying. Are these problems occurring due to issues with the stomach, or is it just from stress and depression? Is it a usual situation?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Most likely, it is a stomach problem like gastritis or reflux disease.

Do you have any pain? If yes, where precisely does it radiate? For example, does it radiate to the back of the jaw?
Do you have an acidity problem?
What is your age and sex?
Do you eat many fried foods or restaurants?
Did you lose any weight without any diet or exercise?

Please answer these questions so that I can suggest you medicine.

Thanks for asking us.
