Vomiting blood (Hematemesis or haematemesis) is a symptom of a number of conditions:
- vomiting blood that has been ingested from bleeding in the throat or nasal cavity
- Bleeding ulcer in the oesophagus, duodenum or stomach
- Tumours of the oesophagus or stomach
- Gastroenteritis (inflammation of the stomach and small intestine)
- Gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining)
It is potentially very serious. If the blood loss is significant it can cause "hypovolemic shock". This can be fatal.
Vomit in the blood will require investigation to determine the cause and the required treatment. You should visit a doctor or hospital.
If you are continuing to vomit blood then dial the emergency services (911 in the US and Canada, 999 in the UK, 112 in Europe, 000 in Australia and 111 in New Zealand), explain your symptoms and ask for an ambulance.

Cirrhosis of the liver vomiting blood?
Cirrhosis causes something called "portal hypertension", in which because the liver is scarred, blood cannot flow through the liver normally. This causes high blood pressure on the way "to and from" you liver. It so happens that the veins leading to your liver are around the oesophagus. If the build up of blood pressure gets too high, it can cause a vein of the oesophagus to rupture, causing you to vomit blood. It is necessary to seek medical help in these situations - likewise, if you think you might be digesting the blood instead of vomiting it.
