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.
