Is puking really dangerous?

If you do it once, no.  But the danger there is the feeling you might get from doing it that once: control? satisfaction?  That kind of thinking, that you can binge but still control your weight by purging, could lead you to do it again.  And again.  Nobody plans on getting an eating disorder.  And if you end up with a purging habit, then yes it is very dangerous.  You can damage your esophagous and wear off the enamel of your teeth.  Even scarier, habitual purging can wreak havoc with your electrolyte levels and cause heart problems.\n\nIf you didn't plan on eating those calories, then just make up for it over the course of the day.  Or take a good, brisk walk and burn some of them off.  You'd have to eat an extra 500 calories every day for a week to gain a pound so your unexpected intake isn't going to impact you much.

Usually vomiting is harmless, but it can be a sign of a more serious illness. Some examples of serious conditions that may result in nausea or vomiting include concussions, meningitis (infection of the membrane linings of the brain), intestinal blockage, appendicitis and brain tumors.\n\nAnother concern is dehydration. Adults have a lower risk of becoming dehydrated because they can usually detect the symptoms of dehydration (such as increased thirst and dry lips or mouth). But, children have a greater risk of becoming dehydrated, especially if they also have diarrhea, because young children are often unable to communicate symptoms of dehydration. Adults caring for sick children need to be aware of these visible signs of dehydration: dry lips and mouth, sunken eyes and rapid breathing or pulse. In infants, also watch for decreased urination and a sunken fontanelle (soft spot on top of the baby's head).\n\nRecurrent vomiting in pregnancy can lead to a serious condition called hyperemesis gravidarum where the mother develops fluid and mineral imbalances that can endanger her life or that of her unborn child.

Yes!\nEven if the vomit comes out a bit or not at all, the stomach acids used to break down the food, is coming up into the esophagus. This causes blisters, lesions, and ulcers in the esophagus and stomach. It then will become painful to digest foods, and you may start losing blood from  the acid lesions. Trust me , even if nothing comes out, it is coming up, and it will cause nothing but misery. Also, the acid , if it comes up into yor mouth, will eventually eat the enamel of your teeth, and they will begin to rot. My 3 y/o son was born with reflux, and his esophageal muscles had to be repaired. He has many cavaties, and suffers daily from the stomach pain. He has vomits so much, that it just comes back up close to 25 times a day. He takes multiple medications, and even has therapy to learn to feed himself, since the fear of the food causing pain gives him serious anxiety about eating. This absolutley cannot ever enter your mind as a means for proving anything. It is very dangerous, and now you know the facts, so be good to yourself.

Yes!  That's why your dr. will tell you for how long before the anasthetic you should avoid eating and drinking.\n\nThere is a huge danger of suffocation if you should vomit.\n\nIf you have eaten, please let the anasthesiologist and doctor know of your error.  Better to postpone the surgery than die of complications.

Swimming after meals is not dangerous.  However, drinking a large amount of alcohol and swimming afterwards could be hazardous for your health.

Yes. Puke away. Do what you can to get the guy. When you get him, dont worry he sounds like a great guy. You'll probably get married and have 50 babies.

Why are you trying to make yourself throw up?  It is an unhealthy thing to do for it can cause damage to your esophagus and throat with the acid from your stomach coming back up.   People who are afraid of gaining weight use it to try to stop weight gain; it is usually a sign of anorexia and bulimia.   If this is the case I think you need to check in with your doctor or depending on your age, with your parents before it causes serious health problems.  \nThe best way to control your weight is to watch what you eat and exercise instead of eating and vomiting.

If you ingested some type of poison, it may not be adviseable to make yourself vomit.  This is why it is always safe to control your local poison control center, to get instructions on what you should and shouldn't do.

yes absolutely.  It will keep you from being dehydrated.  Vomiting WITH diarrhea can be a deadly combination if you do not replace your fluids.  Drink lots of clear liquids.

I had a reaction one time and vomitted.  Repeatedly.  I couldn't even catch my breath, it was really scary-it even affected the blood vessels in my face, so that it looked like I had pin point sized bruises on the sides for about 3 days and my eyes were bright red. Other than that, don't know, sorry.
