Could be more : If you've been bulimic for 4 years, you can damage your stomach and esophagus along with many other things. It's possible that this last bout of purging did this, leading to "extremely painful heartburn" feeling. I encourage you to please see a physician and get the help you need. Your health and welfare matter.
