Please get yourself to A+E as soon as you can.

Chest pains should always be taking seriously whether you're bulimic or not. Bulimia changes the ***** of electrolytes/ions in your body and therefore ends up putting a lot of stress on your heart and can damage it and so chest pains need to be checked out. As well as this it causes damage to your stomach and oesophagus so it could be these that you are thinking of or it could be another problem within your chest unrelated to your bulimia. Yes it might be something as simple as spasming of your intercostal muscles but this cannot be diagnosed over the net and with any chest pains they have to be taken as a MEDICAL EMERGENCY so get yourself to the hospital. As well as this you've got to try as hard as you can not to purge as this could be making it a lot worse and at least it will not be improving the situation. I know this may be hard but you've got to try as much as you can.
