can cause your heart to suddenly stop.
Purging (vomiting, laxative/diuretic abuse) causes dangerous electrolyte imbalances (low potassium, etc.) that can lead to life‑threatening cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac arrest. It also damages teeth and the esophagus, but the immediate serious risk is the cardiac danger.
