Drinking Consecutive Days, Vomit Some Dark Red Brown Liquid. Is There Anything To Worry About?
I was binge drinking for 4 consecutive days almost 6 pg every day. On 4th day I vomit some dark red - brown liquid. I am scared and decided to quit alcohol. I don t drink daily. But once in 3-4 months. Once it is on it lasts for 3-4 days. Can you please guide me if there is anything to worry about with regards to the vomit. I shall be grateful. Regards.

Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
Vomiting of the "reddish brown liquid" indicates bleeding from the upper gastro-intestinal tract. It could be due to stomach ulcers or due to an esophageal tear. Obviously, this is a serious matter of concern.
I would advise you to see a doctor at the earliest for a detailed examination and evaluation, so that further treatment can be planned. I would also suggest that you take professional help to handle your binge drinking problem, as it can lead to even more dangerous health consequences, if not controlled.
Wish you all the best.
Regards,

Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.
Dark red brown in a case of alcoholism may be because of
1- Severe gastritis
2- bleeding in stomach
You should consult physician or gastroenterologist for detailed evaluation and treatment.
You should also go for liver function test and vitamin B12 level.
Thanks
