HEALTH NOTE

This is just a quick note as a kind of ps from my last blog.
In the last blog i told you i was getting shortness of breath and tingly fingers.

I looked up symptoms on the internet and what they related to, heres what i got:

• - FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO BREATHE - this could be due to a lack of iron in your blood which helps carry the oxygen to your lungs

- TINGLING FINGERS - this could be due to lack of potassuim causing electrolyte imbalances (i.e. potential heart attacks)

I doubt it is that serious (although i will not deny the fact that these things do happen and anorexia and bulimia are life-threatening and body damaging).

I have started taking multi-vits which i should have really done anyway, this just gives me more motivation to do so.

I have also decided to keep a log of my heart rate every week. This may sound over reactional but if not to just keep track of my body, then the health facts can be used as a log of someones life with an eating disorder or something.

My heart rate now: 61bpm

Another blog coming up in an hour or two.
