I fell on my forehead, and it bled really badly(and needed stitches later on). And then, shortly after, i vomited out all the food that i ate and then vomited out blood.
Could it be because i fell on my head, or gastric/esophagal tear or something?

And is there such a thing as vomiting blood being head/nerve-related?
'Cause my friend also claims she vomits blood quite often, and she hasn't gone to see any doctor and looks perfectly fine and i think she's lying. So i did research about vomiting blood, and found out it mainly has to do with the digestive tract and stuff, so i mentioned it in passing to her, and she's like "oh it's something to do with the nerves in my head" and so i just kept quiet, in case she really does vomit blood.

So long story short, im dying for my questions to be answered pleeease.

it can be a gastro-intestinal problem...such as an ulcer...it has nothing to do with nerves in anyone's head...if your friend tells you this then it is all in her head as in made up...you need to see and Internist...a doctor that specializes in internal medicine

MAYBE YOU HIT YOUR NOSE AND THE BLOOD WAS FROM YOUR NOSE (I MEAN THE SWALLOWED BLOOD-you always swallow some blood if you have a nose bleed), FOREHEAD IS CLOSE TO NOSE, RIGHT? DID YOU JUST VOMIT ONCE? IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN THEN YOU SHOULD ASK THE DOCTOR.

Vomiting blood is never a good sign; GI bleeding needs to be checked out, preferrably by a gastroenterologist. Head injury frequently results in vomiting, but not of blood.
Bleeding in the digestive tract can result in anemia. Get yourself to a doctor!

regularly it is migraine. truly if the soreness throbs and there is image phobia (i.e. lighting fixtures make the soreness worse). from time to time sinus infections would properly be one sided. maximum "sinus" complications finally end up to be migraine complications.
