A member asked:
19 y/o f struggling with anorexia, i recently went into cardiac arrest. no one at the hosp said why or if it will happen again? i'm 5'8 and 89lbs.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May happen again : Dangerous heart arrhythmias is common in teenagers with anorexia. Basically your heart muscle is suffering of starvation as your whole body is. Abnormalities in the balance of potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphate all critical for the maintenance of electric currents in your heart. Yes can happen again. You need serous treatment of anorexia with your physician. I will pray for you.
