Answered by Dr. Adam Moskowitz

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

Vomiting of blood can result from the vomiting process itself. The pressure from emesis on the esophagus can lead to tears in its lining, progressively turning the vomit bloody. Hematemesis indicates the origin is in the upper gastrointestinal tract, encompassing the esophagus, stomach, or duodenum. Bleeding causes span from duodenal/gastric ulcers to gastroenteritis, severe reflux, and esophageal varices. A crucial query is the underlying cause of emesis, possibly stemming from gastroenteritis, food poisoning, alcohol abuse, diabetes, or neurological factors.

 

Thanks
