Replies Stand Up Posted at 9:15 pm on Nov. 7, 2008 The Vomiting of blood is called "hematemesis". There are various causes of vomiting blood, like damage of inner organs, intestines, internal bleeding and other; and some conditions could be very serious. I suggest going to the doctor as soon as possible, this is an emergency situation. Anonymous Posted at 7:28 pm on Nov. 7, 2008 it depends on how much blood. if its just streaks of blood, the purging is starting to affect ur esophogus and in time you'll tear a hole in it or if it was a lot of blood, then u should really REALLY go to the hospital because that means u mightve ruptured ur stomach or u already have a hole in ur esophogus. Same with coughing up blood too. chilly person Posted at 11:35 am on Nov. 7, 2008 Were you making youself throw up?. It sounds like you were. clarify. then I might be able to help you. musical butterfly Posted at 11:31 am on Nov. 7, 2008 they would probably scan you to see whats causing it. It usually means you're bleeding internally (inside) so yeah go to the ED and get yourself checked sadnessness Posted at 11:27 am on Nov. 7, 2008 Stop throwing up, drink half a glass of warmish water.
