So, since May I've gone from 150 (HW) to a current 125 lbs (BMI 19 - almost happy about it) and I've recently been unconsiously fasting during the day, in about 12 hour spurts. That alone isn't cause for worry, but I've had some feelings of tightness in my chest, a really fast heart rate, and today I had a sort of heat stroke where I almost passed out, my heart was beating so fast. Is this a sign of my heart being weak, or just side effects of fasting? I've restricted/fasted for more intense periods than right now, but have never been as consistent (used to B/P, or just binge without the ability to purge) in undereating day to day.
(It's sad when I already know the answer is 'eat something' but that's what I'm legitimately not able to do. I just don't want to have a heart attack anytime soon.)
Also, little question: when is the right time to tell the person you like/begin dating that you have an eating disorder? I feel like it's this guys right to know, but I don't want him to think I'm crying for attention, or to worry about me. Also, there's that little part of me that thinks people won't believe that I have one, because I still feel less than thin.
Sorry to be a downer! Thanks for any replies: have good nights, everybody. Welcome to October, time for fresh starts!
