Vomiting of blood results after there is upper gastrointestinal bleeding. This condition can sometimes be difficult to distinguish from coughing up blood (from the lung) or a nosebleed (bloody post-nasal drainage).
Other causes could be:
Prolonged and vigorous retching (may cause a tear in the small blood vessels of the throat or the esophagus, producing streaks of blood in the vomit)
Bleeding ulcer located in the stomach, duodenum, or esophagus
Irritation or erosion of the lining of the esophagus or stomach
Bleeding esophageal varices
Vascular malformations of the GI tract
Tumors of the stomach or esophagus
Esophagitis
Gastritis
Ingested blood (for example, swallowed after a nosebleed)
Gastroenteritis
For the amount of blood you have described, it is likely caused by an ulcer.

If you have been throwing up a lot your throat may be raw and that can cause bleeding. Do call your doctor and get checked out though. If you have really foul smelling/black bowel movements along with the throwing up of blood then it might be an ulcer.

You could have an ulcer or a ruptured organ among many many otherthings. If you are throwing up blood go to the ER or call 911

Well That's very very bad..... Your throwing up blood. Maybe your having a Galloping consumption or Phthisis or better yet known as Tuberculosis But I'm not saying you have it's much better if you consult your doctor. Signs and symptons of Tuberculosis includes Hemoptysis or better yet "Coughing up blood" some other symptoms include low grade afternoon fever and night sweat. So if I were you better see a doctor very quick.

Anytime you have blood in vomit, feces, or urine, it is a sign of something very wrong.
You need to go to the Emergency Room.
