Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I am a 24 years old female I have had on and off eating disorder since I was 15 (bulimia and purging) it s over since few months as after a while it was not about weight control anymore but self soothing and therapy helped me understand it, plus I had some kind of wakeup call when I realized that I my weight was average but I was completely out of shape. This is where the problem is. I have been experiencing chest pain sometimes since a bit more than a year and did not pay attention to it as it was not often but now I am experiencing chest pain when I sudently have to run to catch a train or when I lift heavy objects and I am starting to worry as I connect the dots and realize the arm I might have done to myself. I am thinking about going to see a doctor but I would also like to know what some of the doctors on this platform think I might be facing.
