Cancer often manifests itself in subtle ways. As MedikForum writes, warning signs of a deadly disease can also appear when you are about to eat.
There are various factors that can influence how you eat and how big your appetite is. However, frequent eating problems, including anorexia, dysphagia, and early satiety, may indicate cancer.
“Anorexia, or loss of appetite, is one of the most common symptoms of cancer. You do not feel hungry when you eat, or you can only eat a small amount. This is especially important if you have any other symptoms, such as weight loss, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, ”said Andrei Vorobyov, an oncologist.
It can be caused by almost any cancer, he says, and about 50% of cancer patients struggle with this symptom. However, anorexia most commonly occurs in cancers of the pancreas, upper gastrointestinal tract, and lung cancer.
Dysphagia or difficulty swallowing can make you feel like food is stuck on the way down. You may also start to choke or choke while eating when a drop comes out of your mouth. This sign can make you chew and swallow food longer and encourage you to make funny sounds when you eat or drink.
A quick feeling of fullness after eating is often accompanied by anorexia, causing abdominal discomfort. “Especially worrisome if there are any other symptoms, such as feeling unwell or nausea, abdominal pain, heartburn or bloating,” the doctor said.
