Noticed Pink Red Colour In Vomiting. Feeling Nauseated. Any Idea About What Is Going On?

default
Posted on Tue, 9 Oct 2012
Question: I began vomiting what looked like blood. It was a pinkish red color. The second time I vomited, it looked brown. I haven't eaten anything since about 3 pm eastern time yesterday because I was too nauseated. I've been coughing a lot, too. Do you have any idea about what is going on?

Hi XXXXXXX,
Thanks for posting your query.
coffee ground color vomiting, nausea, two days back history of fall with no memory of the event- this constellation of manifestation denotes to the possibility of something in the brain.
May be you have suffered a subdural/extradural hemorrhage due to fall that is leading to vomiting of central cause.
You must rule out a fresh central event in view of these symptoms.
I hope your query has been answered. I will be happy to solve your further queries. In case you are satisfied with my answer, please close the discussion and put a rating for it.
Regards,
Dr.Monika Choudhary
