Could my clumsiness be related to my loss of appetite?

Asked by Basketcase (198

Lately I have just not really felt hungry.I am not ill and feel fine in every other respect. I eat without problem but I do not feel cravings for food.

I have used this reasonable frame of mind to improve my eating habits- cutting out fast food and eating healthier. Still for me it just seems a bit easy.

So I went back in my mind to about 10 days ago when this frame of mind started and the only thing that happened was that I twisted my ankle and fell down a half- flight of carpeted stairs to the landing. I was not seriously hurt at all, just sore the next day. I did, however, shake uncontrollably for a half hour after the fall despite the fact that I was not frightened, cold or in pain. But that was it. No lasting problems.

What I am wondering is if the lack of appetite could be related to the fall? Could it have triggered a psychological response that has stuck with me?

I am not complaining- just really curious.

I’m not so sure about the loss of appetite or the shaking, but the clumsiness could be related to the iron levels in you blood. Have you checked with a doctor?

@Basketcase The shaking after taking the fall was probably shock. You may have banged your head hard enough to cause shock. The eating healthy is just what it is…. I am not a doctor and this is not intended to treat or cure any illness.
