What Causes Lack of Appetite when Anxious?

[Guest guest]

I'm on 90 mg. of Armour Thyroid for hypothyroid and have, thyroid

nodules for last couple of years and Adrenal Exhaustion. (Awaiting

bloodwork test results and followup doc visit to treat adrenals.) I

get anxious and many times take Zanax so it doesn't go into a Panic

Attack. I try to deep breathe, do something easy to take my mind off

it, etc. and take Zanax only when I need to. But, when this

over-anxiousness comes upon me I lose my appetite and can't even eat

(similar to in first trimester of pregnancy). About an hour after

taking Zanax I can eat again.

Any ideas?

The anxiety is low cortiosl and when ACTh goes high and your adrneals

cannot produce cortiosl they sump out adrenaline instead, Thsi puts your

body in fight or flight moce which eating is NOT a part of. It releases

glucagon from the liver to raie your blood sugar as supposedly you are

nto thinking about etaig just survival.
