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.
A simple, bland diet keeps you nourished after throwing up. Whether it is caused by a stomach bug, food poisoning or a baby in your womb, vomiting is extraordinarily unpleasant. And unfortunately, the side effects last far beyond the visit to the bowl. After throwing up, your body typically becomes fatigued and your digestive system becomes weak and sensitive.
