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.
Vomiting will not necessarily relieve the pain caused by a heart attack. The best thing to do if you suspect of having a heart attack is to take an aspirin and call emergency â¦ services (911 in USA, 999 in the UK).
