Many possibilities : We definitely need more information, but, if you can't afford a specialist at this moment i would suggest you to get a primary care physician to make some tests, give you a complete physical examination and maybe start some medication for you to keep some food in your stomach. It could be anything from a stomach infection that is getting worse because of the lack of treatment, or something else.
