23(F) having hunger sensation that won't go away and it's been 2 days now
Hello everyone, I'm posting here because I'm running out of options.
English is my second language so I apologize for bad or awkward phrasing.
I am bad at talking about medical stuff so I apologize for that also.
So I spent 3 days without eating (from Monday 21 to Wednesday 23) because I had nothing to eat the whole time so I just endured it.
I finally had a decent meal Thursday 24 and even after eating (quite a lot actually) I still had a painful hunger sensation even if I felt my stomach being full. It's been two days and that sensation won't go away. I have a hard time sleeping, walking medium to small distances and getting light headed easily.
No matter how much I eat I still feel hungry before, during and after.
I don't know if it's connected but for a long time I've always had a lingering thirst sensation but it never got away and I'm scared this one will stay too since it's way more difficult to live with and way more "aggressive".
I want to know if it's normal and will go away eventually or if I should try and seek medical help since I have spare money now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you all.
