Is the weight loss started more recently/ are you lower body weight since your childhood days? However, if you started loosing weight after your anorexia then a complete blood routine to be done and also a USG of abdomen just to rule out. If you have undergone all these already and all parameters are within normal limits, the following will help you- 1. As you are saying the symptoms are faced by you in less than one month, see if there are any major stress factor, if so start seeing a counselling psychologist. 2. Avoid all outside-processed-bakery-refrigerated food and consume freshly cooked home food which is low on salt and spices 3. Include good amount of fruits,nuts, seeds, vegetables to your diet. Medicines: 1. MADHIPHALA RASAYANA 2TSP—0-----2TSP before breakfast, lunch and dinner For 30 days. 2. Brahma rasayanam 1 tablespoon at bedtime with warm milk For 90 days. 3. Deep SLP(sri sri tatva) 0----0----2 with water 30 minutes before going to bed For 30 days. Take care, Kind regards.
