What Should Be Done For Dizziness And Vomiting Along With Stomach Upset?

Last night I went out and had a cob salad and an Angry Orchard hard cider. Alittle while I felt dizzy and starting to throw up very hard. Then I noticed what I threw up was black. The lettuce was black. Today I feel alittle better but tired and tummy feels upset. What should I do? I asked another Dr and he said black vomit is caused by bile??

Hi,

Black vomitus may be due to blood seen in bleeding peptic ulcer which may cause convertion of hemoglobin to acid hematin appears black. Other possibilities like antacids or iron tablets consumption or dark vegetables etc. You may developed food poisoning may lead to vomiting and pain abdomen.

Avoid spicy food and alcohol. Use tablet Pantoprazole before breakfast for one week. Take soft diet, use tablet Ondonsetron twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
