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.
Answers (3) If you're throwing up yellow (bile) you probably have an empty stomach, thus nothing to throw up. If you have other issues (like sharp, stabbing pain in your upper right abdomen or in the area where your ribs meet, just under your chest), go to your primary and discuss gall bladder issues-I know that from experience! Good luck!
