What is the side effects of aneroxic nervosa?

Answer 1

Answer:there are many awful side effects of anorexia nervosa:

Because the anorexic is starving themselves, they tend to have numerous health issues, such as low blood pressure, brittle nails, and irregular heart rhythm. In extreme cases the resting heart rate is so low, that the person is near death and/or ends up dying. Because many anorexics also refuse to drink enough water, they can also experience kidney failure. Other effects include psychological problems like anxiety, weakness, dry skin, and shortness of breath. Anorexics also tend to suffer from bone loss due to low food intake. This leads to stunted growth and development of osteoporosis. One of the worst effects of anorexia includes death. As many as 15% of the people suffering from this disease actually die as a direct result of it, either by heart failure, kidney failure, or other organ failure. Many anorexics even commit suicide as a result of the conflicting emotional problems they suffer from.

Some other side effects include: growth of fine hair all over the body, and loss of hair (usually in chunks) on their head. this occurs because they aren't getting the nutrition that they need. Also dizzyness/light-headedness, and fainting.

Also, because your brain and body don't get the nutrition they need, the anorexic is at risk of having heart attacks and seizures, which can become something that effects them for the rest of their lives (there are people who suffered severe anorexia as a teenager, and cannot drive vehicals because they still have seizures because they starved their brain for so long)

When you starve yourself, your body is forced to live off whatever you have in your body. This includes muscles and fat (there is debate on which the body feeds off first) And when the body has used up all its fat reserves and can no longer feed off muscles, it reverts to consuming it's own organs. And death will insue.

hope this helps!!
