Bulimia can have severe physical and psychological effects on an underweight person, exacerbating their malnutrition and leading to further weight loss. Repeated bingeing and purging can cause electrolyte imbalances, gastrointestinal issues, dental erosion, and heart complications. Additionally, the psychological toll may include increased anxiety, depression, and a distorted body image, complicating recovery and overall well-being. Long-term, these effects can lead to serious health consequences and a higher risk of mortality.

Both are deadly, it depends on how long a person suffers. A person with anorexia is in a state of self-starvation and will die due to the effects of starvation. A person with bulimia binges and purges, purging is deadly, people sometimes die on their first purge, others do it for years without dying. It's a gamble. Personally I would say bulimia, though I am NOT dismissing the dangers of anorexia, they both lead to death, but from my experience, bulimia is more dangerous.
Bulimia does not cause fainting. People who are Bulimic (Bing and purge) are usually not dangerously underweight. There are other dangers of Bulimia such as erosion of the esophagus and teeth, and electrolyte imbalances that could cause heart problems.

Bulimic?
Bulimia is an eating disorder whereby a person binge eats and then makes themselves sick. Research has shown that bulimia may be hereditary.
A very thin person with an apparently healthy appetite may suffer from bulimia.
The characteristics of bulimia do not typically include a consistent underweight appearance, as individuals with bulimia often maintain a normal weight or may be overweight. Additionally, bulimia is not characterized by a complete lack of control over eating; rather, it involves episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors, which can indicate a complex relationship with food and body image. Lastly, bulimia is not solely about food but also involves psychological factors such as anxiety and low self-esteem.
