Get an evaluation: Hi chelly severe sweats can be due to a variety of things such as infection and hormone imbalance. These can be aggravated by poor nutrition so if your anorexia is not controlled it may be related. It could also be age related. The only way to figure out the cause is to get a full evaluation. I suggest you see your doctor promptly.

Could have a problem: Anorectics have many medical problems, including susceptibility to infection and low intravascular volume (decreased volume of blood) and electrolyte imbalances. This is a situation that calls for a visit to your doctor soon.

Anorexia: Having your physical symptoms evaluated by a primary care physician would be a good first step in making things better. Getting ongoing help with the psychiatric aspects of your eating disorder and possible depression is also very important. Please give yourself the gift of working with your doctor to lessen your suffering.
