Being bulimic isn't healthy by any means!.
The reasoning behind throwing up blood could be because of many different reasons!.
1!.Because you have irritated the lining of your esophagous so much that you have caused it to bleed!.
2!. You have bleeding ulcers in your stomach from the lack of food and you are throwing up the blood from that!.
There are also other reasons, but it really depends on what the blood looks like!.
You could have an upper GI bleed, but the blood would be thick dark coffee ground looking blood, and it would have a terrible odor!.
Reguardless of whether you are getting ready to take the last test of your life, you need to go to the emergency room NOW!
Because you have had this problem for a while, you have an increased risk of getting any number of colds and them being TERRIBLE!. Because your immune system is so low!. You need to go to the hospital!. They can get you into a rehabilitation center, and they can get you the help that you need!.
Your school should be able to reschedule your test, due to FEMA (Family Emergency Medical Act)!.
But you need to tell your parents, IMMEDIATELY!.
You don't have to tell them that you are bulimic, but you need to tell them that you just threw up blood, and that you think that you need to go to the hospital!. You then need to talk with the doctor or nurse that is issued to you, and if you don't feel comfortable telling your parents about your problem, you could have the doctor explain to them that it is a medical condition!.
I hope that this helps, but remember, regardless, you need to get yourself help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Effects of Bulimia Nervosa
The frequent purging that occurs with bulimia does serious damage to the body!.
Self-induced vomiting:
Damages the digestive system: it can cause a peptic ulcer which is an area of the stomach or duodenal lining which becomes eroded by stomach acid!. These are known as peptic ulcers!. The symptoms can vary, with some people not noticing anything out of the ordinary but others may vomit blood and experience abdomen or chest pains!. The pain is usually increased when the individual eats or drinks!. Peptic ulcers can be serious and need immediate attention if you are vomiting blood or passing digested blood in your stools!.
Damages the oesophagus (throat), since stomach acid irritates the oesophagus, which can cause inflammation and raw areas, sometimes making swallowing painful!. Of greater concern is a rupture of the oesophagus, because this can be fatal in some cases!. A Mallory-Weiss tear is the technical term for the rupture or tearing of the mucous membrane of the oesophagus at its junction with the stomach!. It is caused by repeated vomiting and the person will have bright red blood in their vomit!. You should always consult your doctor if you are vomiting blood!.
Brings stomach acids into the mouth, causing the tooth enamel to wear away, and tooth decay to occur, giving the teeth a ragged appearance and cavities!. Eventually all teeth may need extraction!. If you are bulimic, it is recommended that you do NOT brush your teeth straight after vomiting!. Instead you should drink water, as this will be gentler on your teeth and help replenish lost fluids!.
Swollen salivary glands
Stomach cramps and difficulty in swallowing
Dehydration: The healthy functioning of cells and tissues is dependent upon a certain level of water content in the body!. Also, salt and other minerals need to be kept within a narrow range!. In a person who has become dehydrated, it's possible they are suffering from a depletion in salt as well as water!. Long term dehydration can ultimately lead to kidney failure!. Amongst bulimics, dehydration usually occurs because the stomach is being emptied of its gastric fluids!.
SO YEAH,i would go NOW,you probally have an ulcer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The minimum is no binge and purge from now on, i have gerd which gives some of the same damage to your esophagus!. i was hacking some blood until I was diagnosed with pre cancerous erosion and a change of the normal cells that start growing with the same tissue as your stomach, this makes it difficult to swallow as the new tissue does not let your esophagus contract and expand to move food to your stomach, as the new tissue does not allow the esophagus move like it should!. I had blood when I spit the acid out !. It is serious as you may permanently destroy your esophagus!. and you don't grow a new one!. You need a endoscope to check you for this condition, you could rupture your esophagus and you would have a very poor chance of recovering from the damage this would cause!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can tell them; if your parents love you at all, they would be horrified to know that you are throwing up blood, and would want to help you!. It will be hard, but for the sake of your life, please tell them or go to a hospital!. Your exams are not as important as your health!. I think that if you tell your parents, they will be proud of how brave you were to tell them, and try to get you the help you need!. They might not react too well at first, but it's really serious!. You could die, or have permanent heart damange, Please tell someone and get help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm not going to bog you down with all the talk about how unhealthy what you're doing is!. (even though it's incredibly dangerous)
It's probably only your stomach acid corroding lining (esophegal and stomach), not like that's anything to make light of!. Just like a serious ulcer or something!. If it were me!? Yes, go to the hospital NOW, because you don't know what else is going on that you just haven't seen yet!. You can have digestive issues, elimination issues, you may even have developed stomach cancer!.
Seriously, get checked out, and TELL THE DOCTOR what you've been doing!. Otherwise they won't be able to accurately diagnose you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Simply put, go to the emergency very SOON!
You're currently in an emergency situation!. The rest doesn't matter for the moment!. At this point you don't need to worry about telling your parents about your bulimia or not, you should see a doctor!.
Of course, once the emergency situation has been checked, you should tell your parents because bulimia is a very dangerous condition!. Around 10% of bulimic people die from it! This is huge!
Please take care of yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you need to see a doctor and get some help!. The blood is probably your throat bleeding or your esophogal lining!. Beside the point of that though, you need to get some help to stop the purging altogether!. If you can't tell your parents, you can go the clinic or make your own doctor appt, but you should do ASAP!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
lets put it this way, if you go to the hospital now, you will probably get help!. if you wait, you could die!. DIE!. your body will stop working!. you are killing yourself!. tell your parents imediatly!. i used to be anorexic!. it got to the point where my stomach hurt so bad i couldnt walk (i later found out that my stomach was digesting itself from lack of food) and i would pass out!.
bulimia causes your throaght, or esophogus to rot away, from the acid, along with your stomach literaly eating itself!. you can probably never recover from that!. i am scaring you for your own good!. i am sory, but these are facts!. i am perfectly healthy now because i tod my parents, and got help, but you are putting yourself in a lot of danger not telling!.
please stop!. please!. i want you to be OK!. i have been through it!.
please!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm not a doctor!. but vomitting up blood is quite serious!. maybe you should go to a doctor if you feel even worse!. the doctor can tell you reasons why you might be vomitting up blood!. or you can search up on the internet "vomitting blood" but i think to be accurate and sure see a doctor!. good luck with everythingWww@Answer-Health@Com
Uh, no offense, but unless you're bleeding or on your period, you should NEVER see blood!.
You need to go the doctor, the ER, whatever!.
If you've been this way for a year, it's totally possible that your throat is finally ERODING because of the ACID in your vomit!.
So what if you have exams!?
Your life's more important than those exams!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
