Hi,
Most common cause of blood in vomiting is due to gastrointestinal disorder. But you have rule out gastrointestinal disorder. But other cause like chronic viral hepatitis, lung pathology like lung cancer should be rule out. I would suggest to consult internal medicine specialist and undergo liver profile tests, chest xray to confirm cause. Specific treatment like anti viral drug can be used. Avoid stress, smoking, and alcohol.
Hope this may help you. Contact further if follow up needed.
Best regards,
Dr. Sagar
