Can OCD really cause you to have faint/dizziness spells? as well as feeling very weak and tired and lose muscle mass?

But for some reason when i see myself in the mirror i look like i am skinnier than normal. and I think I have been eating normally... but at the same time I know I don't eat feeling comfortably... It looks as if my muscles got smaller, and also i noticed i feel tired doing things like lifting things I normally had no problems doing before, or i feel winded a lot lately.  how can you explain feeling winded almost the majority of the time?

haha...you havent lost muscle tone ! ! !  you just think you have.  most ppl, who are obsessed about hiv infection, loose weight because they sit in front of the computer screen all day reading about "symptoms" and dont eat.

I did but i didnt see the lose muscle mass part... is that the same as just weakness?  i mean it has been about 3 - 4 weeks and i noticed its been getting bad.  But i decided to take protein milkshakes and try exercise and I don't know if it is helping out as good.  I am also wondering if its a mental block that is causing me to feel weak and like I am not getting stronger but getting worse in everything.
