I'm bulimic and have gastroenteritis. can i die from it and how long will it take me to die if its really severe pain?

Please see doctor: Yes you can die from bulimia -- one cause being electrolyte imbalance and heart arrhythmia. If you've been vomiting a lot, you may injure your stomach or esophagus, as well as cause yourself many other problems. Please see your doctor asap if you're having "really severe pain." it may not be gastroenteritis. You need treatment for your overall eating disorder too. Your doctor can help.
