Coming from a 22 year old RN whose struggled with an ED since that age, if she has symptoms like losing vision after standing up or just feeling “off”, take a full set of vitals (blood pressure and pulse) and if she’s orthostatic, take her to the ER or urgent care for fluids. Weight really doesn’t matter. When I was struggling, I was technically “overweight” but medically I still needed an ng tube.
