I have really been struggling with the b/p side of my anorexia recently, like, multiple times a day and can't seem to stop. On Friday I was having big time chest pains, shortness of breath and my ears were ringing. I had never experienced this before. Normally, I am not one to overreact. Ever. But when I called my doctor she flipped out and said I had to go to the hospital immediately, that she wouldn't even see me, I had to go to the hospital.
So I went.
They did the EKG, blood tests, monitoring, etc and everything was coming back normal. At this point I knew that something was not normal, but they didn't seem worried. I guess they thought I was overreacting. Until my blood work came back. It showed that my potassium counts were in the danger to extreme danger zone and they had to do an infusion right away. I was kept there the whole day getting liquid potassium and they said that my body was shutting down because of the low count.
I say all of that to say that I am feeling completely stupid now for going to the hospital in the first place. Other than the potassium, everything else was fine. I know it's a big deal, so I don't know why I feel so pathetically stupid. What a whimp. Buh.
