If something is bothering you, you should see someone about it. You know, that's really the most important part of the criteria for any disorder - basically that it bothers you and/or interferes with your ability to go about your business and live your life as you would like to do. That said, the criteria for bulimia don't require that you eat a lot or are over-or under-weight. People who have bulimia can be any weight. The main point is the things that you do in order to avoid being affected by the food you consume, which can include any number of things - diet pills, excessive exercise, etc. Any of those things are harmful to you, and they get out of control and very difficult to stop on your own. You already are reporting physical symptoms. Please talk to a professional about it. There's more to life than you can get when worries about food start to consume you.
You know what else? You are worth getting help. A lot of us tend to think that we need to be really bad, or at least worse than someone else in order to get help. But I bet that if a friend went to you asking if she should get help with the same symptoms you have, you would encourage her to get it.
