Signs
These are some of the many signs that may indicate whether someone has bulimia nervosa:
- fixation on amount of calories consumed
- fixated and extremely conscious of weight
- low self-esteem
- low blood pressure
- irregular menstrual cycle
- constant trips to the bathroom
- depression
As with many psychiatric illnesses, delusions can occur with other signs and symptoms leaving the person with a false belief that is not ordinarily accepted by others.
The person may also suffer physical complications such as tetany, epileptic seizures, cardiac arrhythmias and muscle weakness.(ICD-10).
People with bulimia nervosa may also exercise to a point that excludes other activities.

Famous quotes containing the word signs:

Till pitying Nature signs the last release,
And bids afflicted worth retire to peace.”

“What a devil hast thou to do with the time of the day? Unless hours were cups of sack, and minutes capons, and clocks the
tongues of bawds, and dials the signs of leaping-houses, and the blessed sun himself a fair hot wench in flame-colored
taffeta, I see no reason why thou shouldst be so superfluous
to demand the time of the day.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Time has an undertaking establishment on every block and drives his coffin nails faster than the steam riveters rivet or the stenographers type or the tickers tick out fours and eights and dollar signs and ciphers.”
