Appetite
12 Answers
Hi, I am a 64 year old man, had heart attack 2013, and have C.O.P.D, am a smoker. Live alone, have had a few relationships, lived with a widow for eight years plus, but generally prefer my freedom. Problem is, I have always looked after my self (ex forces) including cooking my own meals, shopping, cleaning, hygiene etc. For the past couple of years my appetite has been non existent, I just don't feel hungry, and am cooking a meal because I need to eat, rather than because I want too. I don't enjoy or relish my food anymore, whereas I once ALWAYS cooked myself a full roast with all the trimmings on Sundays, and regularly had full English breakfasts, soups, fish and chips etc and loved my food. I'm not depressed, have a full social life, read write and paint as hobbies. I wish I could enjoy my food again, like I used to, but I don't - any ideas please?

She is murder to go on hols with - but I would never go away with her again unless I had my own room. She roams all night - fidgeting and footering - boiling the kettle, a fag - has me up as well and I am definitely not a morning person - no, never again. Her daughter has said the same.

Thanks for all the great answers, makes no difference if someone else cooks, still no appetite, when out with sis for a meal she tucks in while I peck and pick lol. Tried aperitif, no good, forgot to say on statins, maybe its them. Also agree with JennyJoan, could be an age thing. Think it best to mention it when doc sees me again for heart review, many thanks for the great replies
