This post is for anyone suffering from Bulimia or just now getting into ED content and developing Bulimic tendencies.
All of the following is what can happen to you.
Problems swallowing: forced vomiting is a direct assault on the esophagus.
Rupture of the esophagus: this is uncommon, but has happened.
Irregular heartbeat: or, in severe cases, heart attack.
Paralysis: Transient (or temporary) paralysis - extreme muscle weakness or complete inability to move. This is caused by low levels of potassium, and/or the degeneration of nerve cells in the spinal cord or in the brain, which have been deprived of essential nutrients.
Cancer: of the throat and voice box (larynx) due to acid reflux disorders.
Low blood pressure: caused by lowered body temperature, malnutrition, and dehydration.
Diabetes: high blood sugar from low insulin production. This can be caused by hormonal imbalances, hyperglycemia, or chronic pancreatitis.
Osteoporosis: Thinning of the bones with reduction in bone mass due to depletion of calcium and bone protein, predisposing the bones to fractures.
Death caused by any of the following: heart attack or heart failure, lung collapse, internal bleeding, kidney failure, liver failure, pancreatitis, stroke, gastric rupture, perforated ulcer, depression, and suicide.
