What Causes Fainting And Dizziness Every Time After Eating?

Hello I m 13 years old and female. I used to force myself to throw up after everytime I ate and I did this everyday for a year. I decided I would try to stop. I m 4 9 and I weigh 69 pounds. Now after everytime I eat, I automatically throw up without forcing myself. It just happens. I always feel faint and dizzy and I m really pale. Am I anorexic? Do I have an eating disorder? Please help. This has been going on for 2 months.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

Your body weight is too low than what is expected. your Body Mass Index is 15 but needs to be atleast 18. So you need to have minimum of 83 pounds for your height and extreme concern.

Also pale and dizzy suggests that you are developing physical complications.
You have been vomiting the food you have taken regularly. Now gradually it has become habituated and you are unable to stop it by yourselves. You need a proper care and guidance of medical team.

So consult your nearest medical and psychiatric team and seek help sooner. I wish you an early recovery.
