I would advise you to do a few investigations such as CBC, thyroid profile and serology tests such as HIV(if sexually active). I would recommend that you make the following changes to your lifestyle:
- Don't skip meals, you may not feel like eating but in such conditions you should have the reduced amount in frequent intervals(i.e. 3 square meals broken down to 5 or 6 as you can tolerate) and slowly increase as you get better.
- Reduce/ Avoid spicy,fried, fatty, junk and oily food
- Exercise regularly
- Increase daily intake of water to 3 liters
- Avoid/Stop smoking and drinking
- Reduce stress through methods such as yoga/meditation.
If the problem persists or worsen visit the nearest ER
