Dangerous! : Your BMI is dangerously low! You are at serious risk of arrhythmia and sudden death at any moment! You are not ok! You are dying. Please seek emergency care! I do not know what care you have already sought, but you need immediate inpatient treatment. Please share this with your family and seek care ASAP!
