Anorexia can cause some respritory problems. A person with anorexia tends to have a weaker immune system, making them more prone to infection and viruses (cold, flu, bacteria, ect.). This can cause inflamation and even possibly permanent damage to the respritory system. Increased stress on the body can also weaken the lungs. Anorexia can also worsen pre-existing conditions.
