The reasons for loss of appetite in this patient are constipation, Parkinson’s disease, possibly medications. His constipation needs to be treated with increased fluids, medications, enemas. He may need to be hospitalized for IV fluids, if he does not take fluids orally and treatment for constipation.
Parkinson's disease is a clinical diagnosis and a neurologist trained in movement disorders should evaluate and treat.Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device
