scared i have triggered telogen effluvium
i had telogen effluvium last year from starving myself and eating extremely low calories and losing weight very fast. i recovered and gave myself a year and i experienced a decent amount of weight loss. this time i decided to do daily exercise and eat a healthy amount 1600 calories and eat high protein 100g+. i looked at my rhr and heart rate variability for the last couple weeks and was basically told by AI that my resting heart rate suddenly dropping and my heart rate variability is a sign that my body is under a lot of stress and has done this to compensate. usually when this happens your body stops sending energy to your hair, which could be linked to the scalp pain i’ve felt in my temples for the past few days and i’m genuinely terrified and sobbing at the realisation. i cut all my hair off last year and i can’t do this again. i haven’t even lost a lot of weight, i lost 2kg in the past 5 weeks and around 4-4.5kg in total since 18 february. i don’t know what to do if it’s already been triggered im so terrified i cant go through this again
