9 Common Symptoms of Anorexia

Get tired quickly

Lack of adequate nutrition and poor appetite lead to increased fatigue. Since protein-energy malnutrition occurs with anorexia, this negatively affects the work of all organs and systems of the body. To maintain life, the individual is forced to use internal resources, which are far from unlimited. As a result, muscle strength decreases in patients with anorexia. They begin to get tired faster [5], feel weakness, drowsiness, and frequent dizziness. In addition, fainting and heart failure (weak pulse, arrhythmia) are possible. The faster an individual loses weight, the more pronounced the unpleasant consequences.
