Please go to the doctor as soon as possible.
You may have acid reflux.
You may have a potassium deficiency.
Bulimia can cause all kinds of health problems. Please be very open and honest with your doctor--I dated two girls with Bulimia and I know people with this problem can be very guarded and secretive.

The best thing for you to do is see a doctor, especially if you are still actively binging and purging. You lose large quantities of potassium when expelling the food you ate. That can be hard on your heart.
On the other hand, still go to a doctor, but you could be worrying so much about the effects of the eating disorder that you are having panic attacks.
Just know that there is help out there for you but you must actively seek it. I had bulimia/anorexia for 15yrs and now I have no enamel left on my teeth. I only have 14 left and I am going to have to get all my top teeth pulled to have a partial put in. Seek help soon, please.

Hello Baby. There are many ways to die of bulimia nervosa. One is preventing your body to have all the nutrients it needs to keep functioning. Your heart becomes weak. Bulimia nervosa is a mental illness, probably caused by an imbalance in brain neurotrasmiters. The person is very anxious and sees herself fat even though she is bony and skinny. First you have to accept the problem and seek professional help. This way you might find the root of the problem (by talking). Lots of time bulimia is caused by the environment in your own family/ things that have happened in the past. Try acupuncture and yoga which reduce anxiety. Will power is really important (My sister suffered from bulimia for many years) This is all the things that she taught me. Good luck!....Argentox2@yahoo.com

You have probably hurt yourself, with the bulimia. Go to a doctor, first, to get your body taken care of. Then, go to a treatment place, either a counseling center or support group, or residential treatment or whatever, and get the psychological help you need!
Best wishes.

There are some real good answers for you to think about and I have never had to deal with this problem. But I know what this can do to a body. I just wanted you to know that I said a prayer for you. My God give you strength and wisdom and blessing to over come this disease.

What bulimic people don't know is that once the food is eaten, the calories have already went through the body or is in the body, once they throw up, all they do is rot their teeth and damage their throat and don't get skinny at all.
Crazy, huh?

i dont really know. go get checked out. i was bulimic for like a year, and i went to rehab for it. dont worry, they wont shove food down your throat, and demand you to not throw up. they just want to figure out why, and see if they can help you. but you need to get that checked out. it may have something to do with the bulimia or not. but not to freak you out or anything, it could also be something worse.

each time you throw up, stomach acids go up your throat. after a bunch of times it eats away your esophogus [or however you spell that] and will eventualy cause heartburn and stuff
you should stop this.
after 6 years it is getting serious and it could, eventualy kill you.
