I've been off and on but I've been at it for about a week now, throwing up about everyday, maybe twice a day here and there.l know that it can hurt me really bad and l wish l would get that in my head because l do not wanna be like this, It takes your life.l just threw up a lot and my heart is beating weird and my chest has sharp pains in it and its hard to breathe.My chest was like that last night too.l know you can mess you heart up, but is it from the Bulimia?
Oh and l forgot to say that my family has had heart problems too.
My dads, dad died from a heart attack in his 30s.My dads, mom has had 3 bypasses.My dad himself has already had a heart attack.
My dad is a doctor.

l do believe you have to puke several times a day for a long time to start having heart palpatatios from it. Unless you have a week heart to begin with.

You should seek professional help. A physical check up would be the 1st place to start. Let the doctor clear u of any heart problems. If u tell him whats going on & u dont have any heart issues he may want to prescribe u something for anxiety or send u to a psychiatrist.
l would suggest a psychologist or therapist that has experience helping people with bulimia.
The heart palps & sharp chest pains r quite often a sign of anxiety.
Some may disagree with me but bulimia plays the same role as anxiety, ocd, panic etc etc.
Usually there is something bothering u deep inside & this draws ur attention away from the emotions in ur unconcious mind that r threatening to flow over into ur unconcious.

Most will not agree with me. Try it for yourself & see.
Above all, seek help.

Excessive puking can mess you up, you're right about that.

Your chest may be hurting because after throwing up excessively, you can have an irregular heart beat, low blood pressure, a weakened heart in general, and even heart failure!

You need to get help for this now. It is good that you realize that you're hurting yourself. Now act on that.

A lot of things in life r done with repetition, l know that bulimia is a serious thing & can harm u if done long enough. After a meal or after eating something, when u think about going to ''get rid of it'' put a reminder above the toilet like a pic of someone or something that may help stop you. Than exercise for 20 min go for a run 1. It will help u feel better about yourself & also lose weight. 2. It will strengthen ur heart & lungs & will give u time to reflect on the good things in ur life.

It is just the head rush. l was bulimic for 6 years. Your head will hurt, & ur chest may ache, but a week..no. No way.

You talk about it like it is some job. l say, really, get out now. Diet, if u have to, excersize.but do not scarf & barf. l can not eat ice cream or soda or sweets any more [that may be a good thing] because my stomach is FUCKED UP. l used to get nauesiated from just being full. l hated any kind of food in my stomach, healthy or not.

And it takes over ur life. All u do is start thinking 'What can l eat next'' & then ''when can l throw it up?'' Even now, as a recovering bulimic, when u eat, u automatically start timing & schedueling ur day around when the food has to come up.

Honestly, it is not worth it. Join a good sport, cut down on breads & pasta. Remember ur stomach is only about the size of a fist, & eat accordingly. Chicken & carrots & apples & bananas & other low calorie food [go to google & type in 'neg calorie food'].

Good luck.
And seriously: l continued being bulimic even when my insides were bleeding. It hurts: it makes u unable to eat certain foods in the furture, & once u start it is hard to stop. You r never fully recovered from something like this. It is something u fight for the rest of ur life, even if the urge is no longer as strong, it is there. Do not fuck up the REST OF YOUR LIFE because society says girls should be skinny.

Since ur family has a history of heart problems, eating disorders will be especially dangerous for you. You could die.

[Among the listed above, l can not have spicy food any more. My stomach is VERY easily upset, & so traveling can sometimes be difficult. And u get mad crazy stomach pains, that will have u in the fetal position rocking back & forth to keep from crying.]

Good luck

l dont think your heat is messed up but if you keep doing this it will get messed up. Try seeking professional help, and also you can remind yourself that looking too skinny really doesnt look good and if you get too unhealthy you will start losing hair on your head and growing hair in other places which is aweful. l learned this for tortuous years of health class

The bulimia can cause u to have a heart attack even if it is not hereditary in ur family. l know how hard it is to stop the bulimia, but l do know that u can get better. The important thing to help u get better is to remind yourself how much damaged bulimia can do to ur body & that u can die from this. You need to seek out professional help to get ur bulimia under control before it damages ur body up even more. Take care of yourself! If u want u can email me.
