Vomiting often can throw your electrolytes out of balance. Low levels of potassium, magnesium, and sodium are not uncommon. This is hard on the heart and can cause irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), weakened heart muscle, and heart failure. Bulimia can cause low blood pressure, weak pulse, and anemia. Throwing up can be a violent event. The sheer force of it can even cause blood vessels in the eyes to rupture.
Congestive heart failure can affect the right side, left side or both sides of the heart. When the right side of the heart begins to function less efficiently, it is unable to pump much blood into the vessels of the lungs.hen the left side of the heart fails, it is unable to pump blood to the body efficiently. Blood begins to back up into the vessels in the lungs and the lungs become stressed. Breathing becomes faster and more difficult.
