Bulimia nervosa may accompany anorexia, or it may occur by itself. It is estimated to occur in 1.1 to 4.2% of females. Bulimia nervosa can lead to severe tooth decay, intestinal and kidney problems, muscle cramps, heart problems, ruptured stomach or esophagus, and death.

Hi there i am 31 had anorexia at age od 16 and ever since suffered with, well thet say bulimia, but i consume very little but still bring up what i have 2 to 3 times aday.
Been going on since i was 16. Today i have been to the g.ps as im having palpitations and chest pain, feel dizzy etc, my thyroid came back low and i have to re do the blood test again in 3 weeks.
I take it that this is a symptom of my eating disorder, but what scares me most is i cant stop and i dont want to have a heart attack or anything down that road, i have a family 2 girls that need me but this E.D has always ahd such a hold over me.
Has any one else had these symptoms ?
