Bulimia and spontaneous vomitting Posted: 11-13-06 01:54am
I have ben battling depresion and bulimia
for bout 5 years now. im 19 now and its
gettin worse and worse everyday. I am
overwieght but i already lost 60 pounds
about. i usually binge and purge 5 times
every single day. and if there are days I
cannot bigne and purge, i usally dont
eat.. ill go days without eating. i also
take laxatives and diet pills. i already
know its out of control because the health
effects are starting to get worse. I have
bad teeth problems like senistivity,
cavaties, sore gums and teeth, heartburn 4
times a week, headaches, dizzieness, and i
dont kno if severe chest pains has to do
with it. too but the latest thing that
started happening is durning the night i
will wake up at like 4 am, gasping for
air, and literally chokin to the point
where my face starts to turn colors, and
it feels like im drowning. then afterwards
i will throw p everywhere not
intentionaly. it happend bout five times
so far but im afraid it has to do with my
bulimia. and that my throats closing up
when i sleep cuz im afraid i will die.
have you heard of this before?
Bulimia can cause unintentional vomiting.
Bulimia is described, in fact, by too much
eating followed by self-induced vomiting.
Bulimia can’t cause throat constriction.
In fact you may only believe that you have
throat constriction without having the
physical experience of it. Bulimia and
many of the other symptoms you have been
experiencing (headache, dizziness, chest
pain, gasping for air…) could be part of
an anxious-depressive neurotic disorder.
Teeth problems are probably separate from
the other neurotic issues and you can
consult some dentist about them.
