throwing up blood that looks like coffee grounds

What color blood was it? I'm a nurse,.the doctors aren't really worried about it unless it looks like coffee grounds. If it's bright red it might be an ulcer...

Is it bright red or is it dark and does it look like coffee grounds?

Is your throat raw? Have you been throwing up a lot? Either way I'd tell your doctor, if you're throwing up that much that your throat is raw you should probably get checked out!

Well i didnt go to the hospital because it wasnt a whole lot and it didnt continue the next day i figured it was from throwing up too much since iv been throwing up everyday and iv never thrown up so much before i will be talking to my doctor about it. It was red not black. I appreciate all of your comments and concerns thank you!

I'm currently coughing up dried blood that looks like coffee grounds. I've thrown up dried blood like this but never coughed it up like this.

Same thing happens to me, it's scary, but if it seems like alot is coming up then talk to your doctor to be sure.

Hopefully you are at the ER getting checked out, but if not, I definetly agree with everyone else that you should go to the ER! There's no telling what's going on and they could run some tests and at least know if you're okay or not. It may be something simple, but it may also be something serious. Also, you probably know but blood in your stool looks like coffee grounds, they say.

What is your doctor doing for treatment? What drugs are you taking? Are you taking iron pills for anemia? What you're saying is normal and is an active colitis flare up that requires proper medications. I am alarmed at the vomiting having blood and mucus too. You aren't throwing up anything that looks like stool or coffee grinds are you?

Ever? Lol odd. Does it look like coffee grounds?

Oops definitely not Grantham lol idk how that even happened.

If you are vomiting something that looks like coffee grounds than you need to see your doctor. Old blood looks like coffee grounds so you need to see someone.

I am freaking out a little bit! I am 19weeks and 5 days, and I haven't had morning sickness or vomiting since week 12. Tonight I threw up my dinner, and there was blood in it! Not a little bit, like big hunks of blood! I've read other females have stomach tearing and that causes this, but I haven't been throwing up constantly! Should I go to ER?! Help!!

While a week later I was throwing up and it looked like coffee grounds. I went to the E.R. right then and they addimted me to hositpal. When I was in there I had an IV and fuilds through it and the doctor order me npo=nothing by mouth. It was that way for 2 days, and doctor also had me drink a colon prep (1 gallon of liquid) and it worked somewhat. I was released on saturday. I went in on thur. After that They said all test were normal, so doctor sent me home.

The other ones are just loose and form at the bottoms, other ones, it seems almost like powber, the best way to explain it i guess , is like coffee grounds, but slitly bigger grounds, and softer. I have these "stomach attacks" where it feels like im going to die, like i just took battery acid and its slowly eating through. i go to my knees, and feels like im going to puke my stomach up, but i just sit there and dry heave, sometimes, what looks and taste like bio comes up.

My mom always told me that if blood enters your stomach it will crudle, turn brown, & look like used coffee grounds. If it comes out looking red than its from your throat/mouth.

Please see this reference I found,... I have heard of this being a result of a major Liver problem... Im sorry. DEB http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=coughing%20up%20what%20looks%20like%20coffee%20grounds&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&sqi=2&ved=0CDUQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.medhelp.

When the ulcers bleed it can cause bloody vomit...or vomit that looks like coffee grounds. They will probably do a upper GI scope. THis is where they put a little camera down your esophagus to look at it and your stomach. They may take tissue samples, but this will help them better understand what they're dealing with. THey will probably reccomend you take an acid reducer such as Nexium. You may have to stop drinking alcohol for a while until you are better. Good luck!

He begs for food all the time and we cannot leave food out on the counter as he is (dumpster diving) here in the kitchen. I am very concerned about the throwing up. Do you think this will end eventually?

The coffee grounds indicate blood that has oxydized. Means there is bleeding in your gastro intestinal tract. Seek medical attention now. Don't wait for a later appointment. This is unsafe. Good luck.

hi i just throw up a lil of blood is that okay during pregnancy is it because i didnt eat nothing but i wasnt hungry anyone help plz?

Wrap the area and coffee grounds in plastic wrap. Once that is done, prepare an area with newspaper to massage the coffee grounds into the cellulite. After you have done that for a few minutes, wrap in plastic wrap and leave in place for about 30 minutes. The massage will increase the blood flow to the area to help tone skin. After the coffee grounds have been in place for roughly 30 minutes, scrap off the grounds and take a shower to remove any oil or grounds that remain.

It's common when you vomit alot..

I am 8 weeks pregnant,first time pregnant i been throwing up alot and i just cant eat at all everything i want to eat i just cant cuz i throw it up or i just dont know what i want to eat cuz makes me nauseas just thinking about it and then i puke acid!!

With me for example, I need that wake-up kick from the coffee but I changed it for a ginger shot and that works WAY better than the coffee. The flavor it's not the best at the beginning, but later on you get use to it. I'm at the point where I'm looking forward to have my shot in the morning. It makes me feel awesome!
