This is really hard to ask but i need some advice and please without judgment….I have been bulimic for almost 6 years now and recently i have been having sharp chest pain. Tonight i was lying down and got up and had really sharp pain on my left side of my chest and on the left shoulder blade. The pain has now spread all across my chest. I am trying to get help for the disorder but have alot going on now. Can anyone please give me some advice on what this could be without judgment please…

Congratulations. Your quest for weight loss has now caused damage. You either have enough of an electrolyte imbalance that it’s causing you heart problems, or you’ve damaged your esophagus badly. Go to the ER. They can determine which you’re experiencing, and treat both. MAKE SURE you tell them about your bulimia though, as it DOES effect your treatment!
this sounds like a heart attack or stroke. I suggest going to a medical professional ASAP or calling 911. i am serious! my mom has had 3 heart attacks and my grandma pretty much died from a stroke! I know all the symptoms and this really does sound like either a stroke because its spreading, or a heart attack because your having pain in your chest!
Go to the doctor!!!!
It sounds like you have a muscular impingement probably caused from extreme weightloss.
A chiropractor may be able to adjust the impingement, but once impinged, it’ll usually get reimpinged.
A tennis ball on the wall rolling over the pain in your shoulder may also help relieve the pain.
