Q: When You Purge...
asked by: jazjez on December 6th, 2006

Do u get burst blood vessels in your eyes? I just did it and got one, it happened the last time too. Tho I havent binged/purged for over 6 months. I dont know why I just did it, I felt sick and disgusted for eating so....And now I regret it. What causes the blood vessels to burst? Can it be avoided? When I used to purge over a year ago on a weekly/daily basis, it never happened. Anyone?

Hi there
yes you can get burst blood vessels,
it is your body telling you that it has had enough and you are putting too much strain on yourself.
It cant be avoided and it happens from time to time.
I urge you to go and get medical help....
Good luck

Yes..Its caused from a build up of pressure..The same can happen if you hold your nose when you sneeze.
Gah..I remember having to tell people I had done it being sick after being paraletically drunk.

I dont think ive ever had one of mine do that. But I cant tell because my eyes are always irritated from my contacts. I do get extremely sore throats, headaches, diziness... Loads of fun.
Today I threw up blood thoughhh?
Im so scared. Idk what happened or what to do.

well in the mirror I could see a small red bit on the white of my eye where the tiny blood vessels are, so obviously it had burst. It just stays like a small blood spot, today its gone.

It worries me, but it never used to happen and I havent purged in months, so I dont know why it would happen so fast.

I wouldnt say I have bulimia, because it doesnt control me. I feel sort of like compelled to throw up like I should do it after eating often or when I feel full, but I rarely do it anymore. I dont know why the feeling of wanting/needing to do it is still there Confused

It happens because of the pressure you make when you purge. And it is possible that your vassels blow up because of that; it has already happened...
Take care.
