eating disorder side effects ? Posted: 04-29-08 15:06pm
I have been having terrible headaches,
dizziness, seeing stars, chest pain,
fatigue, and weakness for almost a year
now. And it's gotten worse. I went to the
doctor and they did blood tests and
claimed they found nothing. I am only 18
and can't even do any physical activities.
If I sit up too fast I almost black out.
I used to have anorexia and bulimia for
almost 6 years. But I have been recovered
from them for 2 years now. I eat perfectly
normal and never purge. I eat healthy
foods too. Could this be long term damage
from my EDs? But the strange thing is I
never starting feeling sick until I
recovered from them.
I don't even drink or smoke.
I am tired of feeling this way. I just
want to be healthy live normal.
Did you consult some neurologist about the
headache, dizziness, fatigue and
weakness?
Did you make ECG for the chest pain?
How is your blood pressure?
Can you give me some data about your
medical history and some personal data
(age, sex, profession...)?

Hi Posted: 05-13-08 07:25am
I think my blood pressure has been normal
every time I've checked it. I am 18 and a
girl. I don't have a profession.
It doesn't seem likely to me that your
symptoms are due to your previous and
cured condition (anorexia and bulimia).
According to your description ("If I sit
up too fast I almost black out") you could
be experiencing some kind of postural
hypotension. The rest of the symptoms
(headache, dizziness, chest pain, fatigue,
weakness) are to common and can be due to
many disorders. Feeling sick after
recovering from anorexia is paradoxic and
probably due to something else.
What did your blood tests say?
Do you feel nervous or exposed to stress?
