I can't seem to eat a normal amount of food

Hi, I have a problem where I'm never really hungry and I never thought very far into it because it had just become normal. September of last year I dropped 30 pounds in a couple months and I assumed it was because of stress and my anorexia that I develop when I'm like that. The stress is still here but my eating disorder is long gone and I managed to gain some of the weight back but still more often then not I find it hard to even eat without getting full after only a little food. Twice now I have had fits of just extremely random and aggressive dry heaving one time first thing in the am and again today after not eating much at all. I also have a lot of burping and sometimes mild discomfort under my chest bone. If anyone has any idea on how to help me please

Could be heartburn/indigestion. I have GERD and I would highly recommend seeing a gastroenterologist. If you want to avoid that route and find things just to stimulate your hunger I would suggest some research of herbs or maybe even teas to stimulate your appetite. They're are also anti-nausea supplements and medications to check up.
