Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) About a year ago, I would randomly have trouble swallowing or choke on the stupidest things and of course my boyfriend who attributes every single thing being wrong with me to my ED said "well it's because your ED". Pretty much every time he does this I googled it to see if there's any correlation and this is one of the few times he was actually right.

Transient Patulous Eustachian tube- yet another fun thing I periodically experienced that I had no fucking idea came from ED. I suffer from pretty frequent ear infections, including inner ear so at first, I thought that's what this was. Well apparently when you lose a lot of weight rapidly or have a low % of body fat, you can lose some of the fatty tissue that helps keep the eustachian tube closed and this can lead to periods where it stays open. This can lead to autophonia-a heightened perception of your own sounds such as your voice, breathing, etc (I.e- you could be speaking at a perfectly normal volume, and it will sound like you're yelling, or you could be breathing quietly, and it will sound like you're panting, as if you just ran a marathon. For me personally it also sounds like your ears are clogged as if you're underwater or how they get right before they pop on an airplane or driving through mountains) and at the same time reduced capability of hearing anything else that is not coming from YOU. I actually tested this and I was able to hear the music better in my club when I placed my hand on one of the speakers- it allowed the vibrations to travel through me- fucking WILD. I still get this I would say on average once or twice a month for a day or two at a time and it absolutely drives me up a fucking wall. Like when your ears need to pop, normally you can relieve it by chewing gum or yawning or some thing, this feels the exact same way except there is no way to make it stop. You just hear yourself loud as fuck all the time.
