What are the most dangerous physical problems associated with bulimia?
There are so many, but I guess the most common and the most dangerous are electrolyte or mineral depletion in the body especially potassium, but also sodium, calcium, and so on. The mineral depletion can have negative effects on the heart as it can have negative effects on the bone and mineral structure, plus changes in the skin, hair, and nails. And individuals who overused laxatives when they stopped using the laxatives can develop obstruction of the bowel and so on. Probably the most serious, ultimately is cardiac arrest from the effect on the heartbeat of the depletion of minerals.
