A young British woman in the throes of a years-long battle with anorexia faced the scary moment when doctors warned her not to get on an airplane for fear that the cabin pressure would send her into cardiac arrest.
Emma Oldfield, a children’s entertainer, from Clacton-On-Sea, Essex, shared that her struggle with anorexia had evolved from simply losing weight to feeling guilty when she did eat enough, which resulted in a five-year battle that concerned her doctors and put her life at risk.
