| Re: blood in vomit (bulimic)
HI.
I just read your post. That's not good. A few years ago, I had the flu & threw up something fierce! By doing so, I ruptured a blood vessel in my esophagus and bled internally for a few hours and continued to throw up blood throughout the day. I started to feel lightheaded as I began to faint. I finally went to the Emergency Room only to have painful tubes stuck up my nose, down my throat & into my stomach. I found out I had a Mallory Weiss Tear in my ESOPHAGUS. I had to be sedated & had the rupture quarterized w/ an endoscopy. I lost a lot of blood, had to get 3 pints of blood transfusion & stayed in ICU for 3 days!!! When you force yourself to throw up, you not only do alot of damage BUT you can rupture your esophagus. Is it really worth it? Take it from me, it's NOT! Plus, constant throwing up will rot your teeth over time.
