Avatar n tn It can be pretty painful, it feeld like constant bloating a nd pressure throughout my whole abdomin, however when my doctor was feeling around I could tell the pain was originating from slightly above where my appendix used to be. I have had no fever and no vomiting.. just pain. they took blood tests and a urine sample but I won't know the results until monday... He said if it is severe it may need to be removed. I came home wanting to research it, but i forgot the name!
Avatar f tn Bright blood normally means you could of hurt your throat or something from throwing up and dark blood is a sign of internal bleeding or you might have something like a sinus infection that's gotten really bad. In all cases.. Blood in vomit is not good and you best be safe then sorry. I'm not a doctor by any means and it's possible it will be just from puking too much but you'd rather be told your OK go home..
Avatar f tn Did you heave a lot before vomiting? It could have been a little blood mixed in or even something you ate. If it burned coming up could have been stomach acid. Sometimes if blood and acid mix it can turn black. I would maybe bring it up to your doc at your next appointment. It could also just be one of those one time things that have no explanation. I wouldn't worry to much.
Avatar f tn People can vomit and lose so much blood that a person may go into shock or die. Also when a person defecates blood it is usually black and tarry in consistency. Red blood is typically from bleeding hemorrhoids not bleeding varices. A person with such advanced cirrhosis will usually have other obvious signs of advanced cirrhosis as well. A good gastro can diagnosis the signs of advanced cirrhosis with a physical exam and other tests.

Avatar n tn my vomit was first yellow, then turned yellow-reddish and at the end was a small amount of bright red blood. Is there something wrong with me or was this related to the drinking.
Avatar f tn ve heard of girls having this happen and being fine, but it is always better to make sure with this. Coughing up blood can be a sign of a blood clot in the lung or something serious like that. Tell them everything. Stay calm and good luck!

Avatar n tn I would stop shoving your fingers down your throat. Hopefully the blood is just from that or as you said a popped blood vessel.
Avatar f tn So I'll be 38 wks tomorrow. I luckily somehow made it up to this point in my pregnancy without morning sickness or anything. Today I woke up with a terrible stomach ache. I started to vomit around 3 pm and it was full of blood. I can taste blood in my mouth. The stomach ache hasn't subsided but hasn't gotten worse either. Is this ob related or more medical? Should I go to the hospital? Has anyone else experienced this?
Avatar m tn The following maybe of help to you ladies. Small-bowel obstruction Abdominal pain. Most small-bowel obstructions cause waves of cramping abdominal pain. The pain occurs around the belly button (periumbilical area ). If an obstruction goes on for a while, the pain may decrease because the bowel stops contracting. Continuous severe pain in one area can mean that the blockage has cut off the bowel's blood supply. This is called a bowel strangulation and requires emergency treatment. Vomiting.
Avatar f tn I would maybe call your pcp instead of your ob on this. Is it blood your vomiting or next blood tinged mucus? Is it red or did it look like coffee grounds. Could be an ulcer. Any history of GERD?
Avatar m tn My girlfriend is experiencing intense abdominal pains and is both vomiting and urinating blood. She also feels weak and fatigued and when I asked her to grab some water she was afraid she'd fall on the way. She says there's a lot of blood and it's dark in color. She is also sweating a lot and she's going into deep sleep which I can't wake her up when I usually can (I am talking to her on a web camera though).
Avatar f tn Magnesium is a natural calcium channel blocker which may have a mild antiarrhythmic effect. The question is however, if you lack magnesium. I would recommend getting a blood test before spending money on supplements. It could be that you don't need magnesium at all.
1435895 tn?1304291241 I hope everyone is as pain free as possible. I was curious is anyone else having issues with vomiting? Nausea has been a common problem since I have been dealing with this. But now makes 3 times that I have started vomiting and not been able to stop. To the point of vomiting up stomach acid. One of those times I popped a blood vessel (capillary I guess) and was vomitng blood. This week has been 2 different times already. Of course we all know what wretching does to your head.
1298247 tn?1288290953 It branches off in several places to provide communication with the brain to a number of organs, such as the heart and the stomach. Its main function is to direct blood towards the digestive system when food is eaten, but if it is overactive then the vagus nerve can take too much blood away from the brain, causing a loss of consciousness (vagal nerve fainting).
Avatar n tn Hello, Vomiting of blood is called hematemesis. The source is generally the upper gastrointestinal tract.Causes may be lying in esophagus,stomach or duodenum like bleeding ulcers,varices, Mallory-Weiss syndrome (esophageal tear),inflammation of any of the three, irritation or erosion of the lining of the esophagus or stomach, vascular malfunctions of the gastrointestinal tract and tumors of the stomach or esophagus.
Avatar f tn To me it sounds like something called cyclic/ cyclical vomiting syndrome. I suggest getting to a gastroenterologist and keeping a log of your vomiting spells, when they happen, and how you feel before and after. Hope this helps!
Avatar m tn Six days ago I suffered a severe case of diarrhea with blood and spent two days in the hospital. It came on out of nowhere and was not accompanied by vomiting. They performed a CT which showed diverticular disease and inflammation of the colon. They treated with Cipro and Flagyl and I am still taking the Flagyl. I am still experiencing a burning sensation in my colon and dark (purple) sticky stools but no diarrhea. I have a follow-up with my internist on Tuesday.
Avatar m tn It is possible the blood could be from her womb or vagina? Less likely if she has been spayed, but still there is a condition called "stump pyometra" where what remains of the reproductive tract after surgery can sometimes get infected. Does she have any vaginal discharge? If she has not been spayed, it is possible she could have Pyometra. But usually that would present with lethargy, possible fever, vomiting, and almost certainly loss of appetite.
Avatar n tn We took a pregnancy test and she is not pregnant. Last Thursday she began vomiting every 10 minutes all day. It continued through Friday night. On Saturday, she woke and was still vomiting and was cold to the touch and was very pale. I took her to the Emergency Room. They put two bags of saline in her along with an anti nasua medicine they give to cancer patients. I can't remember the name. They did blood work and did a UA. They cmae back and said that she had a UTI, at least a little one.
