I was throwing up and my pulse was 139bpm i am fine now but my stomach is really tender its getting worse and i was wondering if there is a risk of liver and kidney damage?

Hello,
I'm sorry you are feeling this way. Acetaminophen (paracetamol) overdose leads to liver damage. It is possible you might have overdosed so I recommend you go back to the ER and tell the doctor this fact.
I wish you all the best
