Anorexia
8:16:27 2023-03-30 624

Anorexia, formally known as anorexia nervosa, is an eating disorder. People with anorexia limit the number of calories and the types of food they eat. Eventually, they lose weight or cannot maintain an appropriate body weight based on their height, age, stature and physical health. They may exercise compulsively and/or purge the food they eat through intentional vomiting and/or misuse of laxatives.

Individuals with anorexia also have a distorted self-image of their body and have an intense fear of gaining weight.

Anorexia is a serious condition that requires treatment. Extreme weight loss in people with anorexia can lead to malnutrition, dangerous health problems and even death.

The most well-known physical sign of anorexia is low body weight for a person’s height, sex and stature. However, it’s important to remember that someone can have anorexia without being underweight. In addition to weight-related signs of anorexia, there are also physical symptoms that are actually side effects of starvation and malnutrition.

Physical signs of anorexia include:

  • Significant weight loss over several weeks or months.
  • Not maintaining an appropriate body weight based on your height, age, sex, stature and physical health.
  • Unexplained change in growth curve or body mass index (BMI) in children and still growing adolescents.

Physical symptoms of anorexia that are side effects of starvation and malnutrition include:

  • Dizziness and/or fainting.
  • Feeling tired.
  • slow heartbeat (bradycardia) or irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia).
  • Low blood pressure (hypotension).
  • Poor concentration and focus.
  • Feeling cold all the time.
  • Absent periods (amenorrhea) or irregular menstrual cycles.
  • Shortness of breath.
  • Bloating and/orabdominal pain.
  • Muscle weakness and loss of muscle mass.
  • Dry skin, brittle nails and/or thinning hair.
  • Poor wound healing and frequent illness.
  • Bluish or purple coloring of the hands and feet.
