aneurysm

by kcbball1109, Dec 27, 2007 11:43PM
i have been bulimic for almost 5 years and i get frequent headaches and lately sometimes they can be extremely intense. both my grandfather and aunt have had brain aneuyrsms. sometimes when i make myself vomit i feel like i'm gonna pop a blood vessel. i've been good and am working towards recovery but could making myself throw up cause me to have a brain aneurysm?

I highly doubt this could possible occur during a vomiting episode. I've been bulimic for over 18 years. Sometimes I have strained myself so hard during vomiting that my nose starts bleeding. It hasn't happened often, but it scared the bejesus out of me! Believe me, if bulimia (vomiting) caused brain aneurysms, I'd have had dozens by now!
