Question 1

what to do if i have heavy pangs of sadness hit me throughout the day i want them to stop?

Accepted Answer

Find out what is : bothering you by going to therapy. There may be some deep issues from your past bothering you that need discussing in order to leave you entirely. Psychologists can make appropriate referrals to any other professionals based on what else is going on with you. This might be grieving or due to a big new change in your life. Good luck. Getting help means feeling better sooner.

Question 2

i need to lose weight how do i stop the pangs for food between meals ? will hunger suppresants work

Accepted Answer

HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT: I suggest you right down what you eat and what time.In any diet you have to get rid od simple carbs which have no nutritional value except for calories and it causes rebound hypoglycemia and you eat more of the same.So cut down on carbs first of all and consume small portions of fatty and high protein food.Eat good quantity of fruits and vegetables and whole grains in a balanced way and exercise.

Question 3

cures for extreme hunger? i've been eating extra just to keep from stomach pangs and grumbles. how do i fix this extra hunger?

Accepted Answer

Protein: increasing the amount of protein in your diet will slow how quickly you digest food and therefore may help you with those feelings. If you adopt a diet that is high in protein and low in carbohydrates your hunger sensations will be reduced. Similar to an Atkins diet.

Question 4

when should i worry about a pang in the abdomen, like a pain, mostly on the left side? i've been feeling it sometimes today but i don't know if its serious or not?

Accepted Answer

: There isn't enough description of your symptom for us to make a differential diagnosis for you. Persistent abdominal discomfort, especially if there's associated abdominal tenderness, warrants an examination by a physician. Diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease, pelvic inflammatory disease, inguinal hernia are some causes of left sided abdominal pain. Get examined if pain persists.

Question 5

to fast for 10 hours and get a blood test tomorrow. how can i avoid the hunger pangs?

Accepted Answer

You can't: Forgive my frankness. Be tough. And be thankful that you live in a country where you only have to ask, "How can I avoid hunger pangs?" when you're fasting for a lab test -- rather than from not having enough food to feed yourself or the people you love. Some of the great world faiths encourage folks to go without food for a time to remind them of those who have none. Let this idea strengthen you.

Question 6

hi im trying to lose weight how do i stop the hunger pangs between meals ? will appitite suppresants help if so which one ?

Accepted Answer

Hunger pains: Certainly if one could answer this question it would help alot of peope.  Hopefully just think positive about your results.  Take a walk.  Eat a piece of celery of fruit.  Get a good list of little calorie snacks if you need to  put something in your stomach.   There may be a roll for appetite suppressants-which are stimulants-  would need to talk to your pcp if all else has failed.

Question 7

for the passed few weeks i have a constant hunger pang just under my breastbone. it doesn't get better or worse when i eat...it just remains constant.

Accepted Answer

Need more details: What you have is a bit unusual. Tell us how long have you had this sensation? How have you have handled it? Do you eat at the regular hours of Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner? or do you eat more or less often?. How is your weight doing ?
I would advise you to avoid eating or drinking sugary foods or drinks(reduce sugar slowly) and increase Protein intake with each meal(eat Eggs/ Almonds/ meats/Fish).

Question 8

why do hunger pangs always cause me to sneeze?

Accepted Answer

Very Interesting!: Reflexive sneezing from hunger or sometimes nausea is not well described; however, similar reflexes do occur, such as sneezing from bright light or sexual arousal. The trigeminal nerve system regulates each of these areas, so one theory is that direct nerve stimulation causes the reflex and another theory is that a central "sneezing" center in the brainstem is responsible.

Question 9

why is it that hunger pangs cause me to sneeze?

Accepted Answer

Good question: I have never encountered this phenomenon but can only conjecture that hunger stimulates the vagus nerve which in turn leads to the sneezing.

Question 10

what can help with extreme hunger pangs? i get them all the time + it causes really bad gnawing burning pain but sometimes i feel extremely full.

See the GP or PCP..: One needs to see the GP or PCP and really spend some time with him/her giving detailed History; followed by thorough Physical Exam.  Labs and Imaging might be required. At age 18 y/o the possible causes of  these "extreme hunger pangs" must be fully explored for healthy living
