Feelings of hunger and concomitant diseases

The sense of hunger we define by a kind of pressure and sucking in the pit of the stomach, accompanied by the sounds of "rumbling" in the stomach.

Some people during hunger can not identify any specific symptoms of it: they experience a so-called "general feeling" that does not belong to a particular area of the human body or to any one organ. In this case, just a general tension of the body is felt, thoughts are confused, highlighting the main goal - to eat. If this feeling is strong, then it becomes almost the same to a person what to eat and where. For this reason, often "breakdowns" occur on food harmful to the body, which in ordinary situations a person avoids: fast food, snacks, chips or purchased chebureks.

Over time, the feeling of hunger can undergo some changes, sometimes pathological, when the hunger literally begins to control us, despite the fact that we continue to eat in former quantities. When the feeling of hunger starts to malfunction and becomes wrong, we'll talk about this a little later.

Feeling of hunger and nausea

Often these signs are signs of some diseases, for example, diabetes. But this is not always the case. Sometimes nausea is provoked, in fact, by the famine itself: the person ate - the nausea has passed.

We will give you the most common reasons for the simultaneous appearance of such symptoms:

• gastritis or a stomach ulcer - it is necessary to be checked up at the gastroenterologist;
• diseases of the gallbladder - can be accompanied by nausea and a feeling of hunger, as well as a bitter taste in the oral cavity, flatulence;
• acute attack of appendicitis - accompanied by pain in the right side of the abdomen, temperature, and nausea can go into vomiting;
• poisoning or manifestation of an intestinal infectious disease - accompanied by diarrhea and high fever;
• high blood pressure - nausea and a feeling of hunger, especially in the morning. Headaches are often troubling, the face is swollen and reddened;
• the side effect of certain drugs - more often from non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, as well as from the means for replenishing iron in the body;
• initial gestation, especially I trimester;
• migraine - here every organism behaves differently. Nausea, as a rule, is almost always present, and the feeling of hunger is not constant, but it is observed quite often.

Weakness and hunger

Simultaneous appearance of these signs is most often associated with carbohydrate starvation - a condition that occurs with a lack of carbohydrates in food, as well as certain diseases and metabolic disorders.

All causes of this condition are associated either with insufficient intake of carbohydrates into the blood, or with accelerated excretion from the blood, or a combination of these factors.

Specific reasons may be:

• excessive production of insulin with increased pancreatic function;
• insufficient synthesis of hormones that should promote carbohydrate catabolism - it is thyroxine, glucocorticoids, adrenaline, etc .;
• incomplete cleavage of glycogen;
• loss of a large amount of glycogen from the liver, mainly in heavy physical work;
• liver disease;
• fasting or diet with a sharp restriction of the use of carbohydrates for food;
• bowel diseases, which complicate the assimilation of carbohydrates;
• deliberate or accidental administration of a large dose of insulin.

Dizziness and hunger

Talking about the causes of such a condition as simultaneous dizziness and hunger, first of all I want to ask: when did you have your last meal? If you do not remember, or 5-6 hours have passed since the last meal, you can confidently talk about a true hunger, in which the body badly needs food.

In addition, the same condition can occur with an unbalanced diet, especially if you are on a diet with a large restriction of carbohydrates. Remember that any diet should contain in reasonable quantities, and fats, and proteins, and carbohydrates, because they are very necessary for the body.

If you consider the possibility of the presence of any disease, which can be noted dizziness and hunger, then, in the first place, you should think about metabolic and diabetes mellitus. It is necessary to consult a doctor and check blood for sugar, fasting and after eating.

Well and one more, more pleasant in every respect the reason is a pregnancy. In this state, a woman can often experience nausea, dizziness and often just a "wolfish" appetite.

The hunger for diabetes

It should be noted that this symptom does not arise from malnutrition, but because of low intake of glucose into the cells of the body due to deficiency of insulin.

One of the main properties of insulin is to allow glucose to penetrate into the cells. If this is not possible, glucose continues to be in the blood, and the body experiences acute glucose fasting.

When the blood sugar level is exceeded, a condition is formed when the patient feels a constant hunger, thirst, and a large volume of urine is formed. Hunger occurs because the cells are hungry for sugar; thirst - due to increased urine formation and fluid withdrawal from undigested glucose from the body.

Insulin is a hormonal substance synthesized by the pancreas. In a healthy person, with an increase in the amount of sugar in the blood, the pancreas accelerates the production of insulin, and when it decreases, it slows down. Thus, the intake of insulin into the bloodstream is regulated according to fluctuations in the amount of sugar in the blood.

If the production of insulin is broken, then the cells in the body experience hunger. The same sense of hunger is felt by the patient. To get rid of such a problem can be the introduction of additional doses of insulin.
