Question: i drink quite a bit and today I threw up blood with a tissue like substance. What is going on?
Brief Answer:
It is an emergency
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
I am Dr Aslam here to help you.
As you describe here,it can happen sometimes,the reasons being a peptic ulcer,or more important causes like an esophageal mucosal tear,or esophageal variceal bleeding.
All these conditions need immediate evaluation and observation in an emergency setup.Once these important conditions are ruled out by appropriate investigations,we can manage it with acid lowering agents and other supportive measures in an OP setup.So please see your doctor as soon as possible.
Meanwhile,avoid any oral intake till the issue is sorted out.
If you have further query,I will be happy to help.
Wishing a faster cure,Thank you.
