                                According to the Cleveland Clinic, feeling extreme, insatiable hunger, medically known as polyphagia or hyperphagia, is a symptom of certain health conditions, with diabetes being the most common. However, many factors beyond a medical diagnosis can explain why some individuals react so strongly to hunger, experiencing fatigue, irritability, and poor concentration.
