Vomiting does not remove all the food or energy the body has absorbed, and repeated purging can cause serious harm.<\/p>\n<p>Stomach acid brought into the mouth and throat during vomiting can erode tooth enamel, injure the throat and worsen acid reflux. Repeated vomiting can also dehydrate the body and deplete essential electrolytes, including potassium.

It may also contribute to irregular or absent periods and swelling of the salivary glands near the jaw. Seek urgent medical care if vomit contains blood, severe chest or abdominal pain develops, or there is fainting or an abnormal heartbeat.<\/p>\n<p>After overeating once, there is no need to \u201cmake up for it\u201d by vomiting, fasting for a prolonged period or exercising excessively. Give your body time to settle, sip water and, when comfortable, take a gentle walk. Then return to regular, balanced meals. Severe calorie restriction or skipping meals should not be used as a long-term weight-control strategy.<\/p>\n<p>If episodes of overeating followed by self-induced vomiting recur, or concerns about food and weight begin to cause distress or interfere with daily life, speak with a doctor or mental health professional. This pattern may signal an eating-related problem, and timely support can help.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/eng.dragonmedia.com.np\/?p=26915\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"time\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon Media News Desk Cold weather can increase appetite.
