What Causes Vomiting Of Blood After An Accident?

Hi, my name is Parker. Earlier today me and my sister were riding on a fourwheeler (she was driving) and she lost controle and we flew into a tree. I was holding on to her and the bars so nothing would happen. But she flew up and hit the bars instead of completely flying off. She hit her stomach really hard and she couldn't breathe. She threw up at one point. We took her to the hospital and gave her meds. About 3-4 hours later the pain came back and she said it felt sharp and she threw up blood this time and alot to. Please help I hope this is enough information!

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query. in most cases this is not something serious and this is caused by stress gastritis . but she should check rbc and do abdominal ultrasound to rule out some serious injuries.Wish you good health. Regards

Hi I am Dr Nallammai
Welcome to HCM
I wanted to know whether she had head injury and loss of consciousness
If she has vomiting of blood with above 2 symptoms then fr sure there might be some hemorrhage either EDH or SDH fr which CT scan shld be taken
If those symptoms r not there.. Then go to gastroenterologist and HV her USG abdomen done and look fr any organ injuries
It s a treatable condition.. So don't worry
