Why am i throwing up blood???!

OK, if the blood was bright red (arterial), it might have been due to a simple rupture of a varicose vein in your esophagus, due to repeated vomiting; only see your doctor if your symptoms continue for a week or more, if they suddenly get worse, or if you start to feel sharp abdominal pain..Health Question & Answer

Throwing up blood is not a normal thing.. If you throw up a lot it could be the start of what is called a Mallory-Weiss tear, which is essentially when the mucous membrane in the area of where your esophagus meets your stomach is so overworked from all the vomiting, it starts to tear..

It could also be an ulcer.. Or esophageal varices..

What can you do to help.? Well.. You've really left yourself no choice, because the two things you need to do, you have have said you won't do: stop throwing up, and go to a doctor..

Problem with a Mallory-Weiss tear is that if it continues to tear, which will continue to happen if you keep throwing up, you will really injure yourself and will begin to have non-stop bleeding into your stomach, along with throwing it up.. This will be a big deal, and quite frankly, you will have a number of problems..Health Question & Answer

you are making yourself throw up right.? and probably more then twice a day, right.? When you throw up the acid eats away at your insides, youre throat, your stomach, your teeth........ the acid from you throwing up is probably making your insides raw, causeing the blood.. You don't want to hear the truth, but you need to go to the doctor, and get therapy, because you will eventually kill yourself, by continuing to make youself throw up..Health Question & Answer
