Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Yesterday I didn t have that much to eat or drink, and went to a concer in really hot weather. I had been drinking and later on in the night I threw up a dark substance, almost black. I only got sick one time that night, but felt perfectly fine the next morning. Is this common, or should I be freaked out?
Hello and welcome to healthcare magic community . I will be very happy to help you . Well ! Drinking is associated with some problems of the stomach and chronic drinking with liver too . If you had such an issue before too and same black substance came out , you should see a gastroenterologist in order to rule out any ulceration in the stomach etc. However , you should keep in mind that anything eaten up together with drinking having dark color might come out too , as a result of excessive drinking . If such a patient came to my clinic with such signs I would rather send him / her to gastroenterologist for complete check up . Hope I have answered your question and please never hesitate to ask follow up questions if you have anything to ask further .
