What could this mean? Threw up small amounts of blood...?

Question

I had two 12 oz beers this evening over a period of 2 hours, and I just lost my lunch. I threw up everything, but afterwards, I noticed that the remaining amounts of saliva contained a red substance I am assuming to be blood...I ate at McDonald's tonight, so here is what I ate:

A Filet of Fish
A ranch crispy chicken snack wrap
A crispy club sandwich (the only item that had anything red, which was the tomato)

I am 21, I also smoke.

So I got off of work, ate, then went to the mall for some Dance Dance Revolution. I drank some water, went home, and sat and smoked a little while slowly drinking my two beers. Then, at 2:30, I felt flushed. I have a headache, and my nasal cavities were stuffed there for a while. The headache is crawling into my right eye. So I threw up. Afterwards, I noticed that under my eyes and in parts of my forehead were tiny dark spots, which could be busted blood vessels for all I know...

Any ideas?

Answer 1

It could mean a few things. Everything from vomiting to hard to starting with an ulcer. If blood increases go straight to the ER.

Answer 2

I'd go to the doctor and have him/her screen you for an ulcer.

You should go to a doctor in any case. Even if it isn't an ulcer it could be pretty serious. It is possible the red may have come from something other than blood. You should check it out.

Drinking, smoking and too much junk food can aggravate or cause an ulcer. Moderate drinking is usually not a problem but smoking is a bad idea at any time. Junk food is also a manageable vice.

But go to a doctor and get it checked out. You might get good news that there is no problem.

Answer 3

get to the hospital, may have a minor gastro-intestinal bleed, which would make ya toss some blood...better get it checked out!
