In July of 2012, I was feeling ill. In fact, I had not been feeling well for three days. Mostly, all I wanted to do was sleep. In the evening of the third day, I attended a 1950s sock hop at my apartment building – despite not feeling quite up to it. While twisting the night away to “Rock Around The Clock,” I suddenly collapsed.
ABSTRACT: Anorexia nervosa portends the highest mortality among psychiatric diseases, despite primarily being a disease of adolescents and younger adults. Although some of this mortality risk is attributable to suicide, many deaths are likely cardiovascular in etiology. Recent studies suggest that adverse myocardial structural changes occur in this condition, which could underlie the increased mortality.

On Monday, October 19, 2015, I was at work when I suddenly developed strong chest pains. I was not exerting myself when they started; I was just sitting at my desk working on my computer. That was my first concern. The chest pains would not go away. After about twenty minutes with the chest pains, I told my boss that I needed them to take me to the emergency room. Since the pains were so strong, they decided to call an ambulance instead. That was definitely the correct decision.
ABSTRACT: Oropharyngeal dysphagia (OPD) refers to difficulty swallowing food or a liquid bolus from the oral and pharyngeal cavities into the esophagus and increases the risk of possibly life‐threatening pneumonia. Little has been reported on OPD in adults with anorexia nervosa (AN). This study includes a description of OPD in severe AN and discusses potentially effective clinical management.
ABSTRACT: Eating disorders that are associated with purging behaviors are complicated by frequent blood electrolyte and acid‐base abnormalities.
Herein we review the major medical issues involved in the “detoxing” of patients who engage in purging behaviors and the pathophysiology of why they occur. Given a limited evidence base of randomized controlled trials, we conducted a thorough qualitative review to identify salient literature with regard to the medical issues involved in “detoxing” patients from their purging behaviors.

Through the middle of 2015, my life was that of an athlete in training. I was spending six to 10 hours daily in CrossFit, kickboxing, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I felt like I was in top shape, as I had planned to fight in mixed martial arts (MMA) and become the oldest fighter ever (male or female) at age 54. But life had other plans, and everything changed on June 18, 2015, at 4 p.m.
