Q: eating disorder side effects ?

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. Sad

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...)?

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?
