I am normal weight 160lbs 5foot 9inches. I pay ball hockey 2 times a
week. I have a hart rate that ranges from 47-60bpm. Blood pressure of
110/70. But even when I did not play any sports, I have found that I get
really hungry every 2 to 3 hours. So much so, that during my work break
I will devour my apple in 60 seconds, almost like a smoker going for his
fix. I can't help but eat a couple of hours before bed. Then I get
bloated at night time (although I get bloated even if I don't eat before
bed).
I have gonen to my doctor for many various reasons, including for being
tired all the time. But he is not of much help. I drink at least 4-5
cups of water a day. Any ideas why I am so hungry?

Constant thirst and hunger are 2 signs of diabetes. You should get a glucose
tolerance test done as well as bloodwork, specifically for glycosolated
hemoglobin.

If you find that you are also urinating frequently this would be pretty
indicative of diabetes.

Please don't let this go on unchecked.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I had a glucose tolerance test done and it checks out fine. I thought the
same thing
about diabetes, since I feel better after eating some thing like a piece of
cake or meat (like a pepperet). Eating something like I banana only helps
me for 15min and then I am hungry again.

As I recall sometimes a gastric ulcer can
cause a patient to want eat frequently.
Or perhaps it is a compulsion?? OCD?
