Thanks for your question on HCM. Vomiting blood is known as Hemetemesis. And the most common cause is Alcoholic Liver Disease. So you should consult gastroenterologist first. I suggest you to get done Ultrasound Abdomen to rule out liver cirrhosis and Gall Bladder pathology. Your ALP is raised which suggest obstruction of hepato billiary system and again this is seen in alcoholic s. So your report is not good. You need to consult gastroenterologist and get evaluated for liver disease. But first quit alcohol.
