With Anorexia Nervosa, an Eating Disorder-If your pulse rate is low-stop exercising immediately #anorexianervosa #bulimianervosa #eatingdisorders

As you lose weight with Anorexia Nervosa, your heart rate (measured by your pulse rate) will slow down. You may start to skip heart beats and are at very high risk of developing heart complications. Stop exercising and physical activity immediately and seek professional help-if you havent already got really good support. Its crucial that you receive the best advice so that you can learn how to reverse the effects on the heart. Get well. v best Dr Sarah

Feeling colder is not a good sign with an Eating Disorder #eatingdisorders #anorexianervosa #bulimia nervosa

There are so many changes that happen to the body as an Eating Disorder becomes worse and takes hold of someone's life. Feeling colder and needing to be wrapped up on warm days or using a heater to be warm despite balmy weather- is a sign that the blood circulation is poor and the heart rate will be too low. Some people are too scared to tell anyone about their feelings or may tell friends who are lovely and kind but, can't really help. I can't advise you enough to find someone senior who is in a position of being able to take action - to talk to. It will begin your route to finding the right kind of help and will save your life. Look after yourself. Dr Sarah
