hi

so i thought i was recovered from eating disorder. But i keep finding it hard to breath while i am eating and i can see my hands literally getting swollen after eating. But i am not talking about like full panic attack- i just have to keep taking deep breaths while eating and is struggle. I went to my GP thinking there is something wrong with my lungs, didnt even come to my head that it might be anxiety from eating. I went for a chest Xray and have done blood tests and nothing seems to be wrong. So she said is anxiety and is part of my eating disorder. I do not have eating disoder anymore yet she said i do as she also checked my weight. Im really confused as i would know if i was still suffering? And i would know if anxiety is causing deep breathing. I just feel i have somethig physically wrong with me and my lungs that cant be shown up atm.

So just wondering if anyoene else wih an eating disorder also deep breaths while eating and gets swollen hands or thinks they see weight going to their hands

thanks

Since when I suffer from eating disorders I find difficult to breathe too, my chest hurts when I inhale. As you said it
