    Dr. Matthew C. Evans of Intermountain Healthcare answered:

    A decreased appetite is not uncommon with a concussion. Nausea is one of the most common concussion symptoms and can be perceived as a lack of appetite. Other concussion symptoms that can contribute to lack of appetite are headache and increased fatigue.
