I'm an Overweight Bulimic and..?

Question

I am 5'5" and a 15 year old girl. I got anorexia when I was 9 and weighed only 98 pounds (7 stone) until I was 12 but I began binging and purging but packed on the pounds. I now weigh 230 pounds (16 stone 4 pounds) but I'm starting to fast so I can lose weight! I'm always dizzy and cold, my hair falls out, I have heart palpitations, my fingertips and toes tingle like I just took 15 diet pills, and when I stand up half the time I get hot and dizzy and nearly faint.

I'm curious as to how I can be so heavy and so sick? Also, why do my fingertips tingle? And also, sometimes it literally feels like I'm dying but I'm fine 2 minutes later, can someone explain this feeling?

If you are fasting your brain is going to make you binge to get food, trust me, I've had a lot of experience with this.
When I was 11 and overweight when I fasted it made me very unwell. What you are feeling is low blood pressure. People of any weight can have it.
You need to seek medial advice, I know you don't want to, I know that when you're losing weight you will do anything and health doesn't matter, but you can still lose weight in a healthy way. You don't want anorexia again, It's not worth dedicating your life too.

You should probably get help ASAP. This is super dangerous for you can you could possibly die. All of that stuff is normal with an eating disorder. I've heard that with bullimia you don't really lose much weight but just destroy your health. It could do with the amount you're eating, genes or many other things that you are overweight. Also because you were anorexic and had lost weight in such an unhealthy way you gain weight back SUPER easy.
