Question:

What is wrong with my friend, she has more heartburns lately and is losing too much weight. What's wrong?

She has shortness of breath when working out too hard, (like walking up a hill), lost too much weight. She has heartburns more than she has ever had them and has this sudden loss of appetite. Almost a year ago she was 120 lbs. Then she returned to her normal weight of 110. She is 15 years old and now weighs 99 lbs. My friend needs help, no joke.


Answers:

^The first thing she should do is go to her doctor and have a complete physical.

She may be anorexic, or bulimic, both of these are eating disorders. When she's with you does she eat or just push her food around, she might be anorexic. Does she go to the bathroom right after she eats all the time, she might be throwing up that's bulimia. Some people have both disorders. Either way she needs more help than you can give her, and her parents should know. Your a good friend, but she might need to see a professional , talk to her about getting help. Good luck, I hope this helps.
