Should I Be Worried About The Blood In Vomit?

Hey so i was drunk yesterday and felt sick so i forced myself to puke a few times to try and make myself feel better, and the last time a puked a really small amount of blood came out, i was wondering if thats ok. This was an isolated incedent and besides being kind of hungover this morning I have felt completly fine all day. Do you think I am ok?

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Hi and thank you for asking

I can understand that this is a frightening experience

Vomiting blood, or hematemesis, is the regurgitation of stomach contents mixed with blood, or the regurgitation of blood only.Regurgitated blood may appear brown, dark red, or bright red in color.
Vomiting blood in some cases it may be triggered by minor causes. This includes swallowing blood from a mouth injury or from a nosebleed.

To exclude stomach problems better to do a fibrogastroscopy to confirm it.
But in your case my opinion is that this situation has been due to excessive alcohol.
So be careful with drinking and do not smoke

Thank you
