Question:
HELP PLEASE! heart problems / eating disorder?
i'm a 17-year-old girl who lost 50 pounds really quickly due to an eating disorder. i know i've damaged my heart (my heart rate is about 44 beats per minute and it's sometimes irregular) from poor nutrition and overexercising. my question is .. how do i repair the damage that's been done? i don't want to have a heart attack or something! what should i do?
Answers:
you need to go see a nutritionist so that he/she can tell you what to eat to help you gain some weight. You can't be expected to gain the weight very quickly, because that too could damage your heart.
You may want to start by going to a doctor who can refer you to a nutritionist
