There are quite a few reasons this can happen, but this is not something someone should just try to wait out. A person with abdominal pain and lack of appetite for 5 days should be seen immediately by a doctor.

In general, anything seriously wrong in the abdomen can cause pain and lack of appetite.

The problem might be relatively simple like a viral gastroenteritis (an infection of the stomach and/or intestines by a virus).

Then again, the problem might be much more severe, requiring immediate medical attention. Things like intestinal obstruction, appendicitis, bowel perforation, and diverticulitis all fall into this more serious category.

The bottom line? Get to a physician as soon as possible so that he/she can rule out the bad stuff and treat the problem.

You are pregnant your stomach has been hurting for the last 3 days with a loss of appetite could you be going through a miscarriage?

If by hurting you mean cramps similar to those you have during a period, then miscarriage is a possibility, although it is usually accompanied by bleeding. See a doctor, as it is important to do so in either case. Pain lasting this long should be investigated.

Does clonazepam suppress appetite?

I've been taking it for 4 days straight and it does seem to have an effect, although keep in mind it's been 4 days and it could wear off. Also, I took it regularly, instead of just when I felt anxious.
