Weight Loss
Chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis can affect a person's appetite. They may lack the desire to eat or even feel queasy at the sight of food. This can cause significant uncontrolled weight loss that puts further strain on the body.3‘Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis.’ Cleveland Clinic, my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17898-hypersensitivity-pneumonitis
Any unexplained changes in appetite or weight can be reason to visit a doctor. When hypersensitivity pneumonitis is discovered, a person can begin to isolate and avoid the allergen that causes the reaction.2‘Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis.’ NHLBI, NIH, www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health-topics/hypersensitivity-pneumonitis
