[36M] Experiencing vomiting blood with cold symptoms

What might be happening

Based on the information you've provided, possible diagnoses include:

• Gastrointestinal Bleeding: This could be due to a variety of conditions, such as peptic ulcers, gastritis, or esophageal varices. These conditions can cause blood to appear in your vomit.

  • Treatment typically involves medications to reduce stomach acid and, in some cases, endoscopic procedures to stop the bleeding.

• Severe Gastroenteritis: This is an inflammation of the stomach and intestines, usually resulting from a viral or bacterial infection. It can cause vomiting, and if severe, there might be blood present.

  • Treatment usually involves rest, hydration, and over-the-counter remedies. Antibiotics may be prescribed if a bacterial infection is suspected.

• Mallory-Weiss Tear: This is a tear in the mucous membrane at the junction of the stomach and esophagus, often caused by severe vomiting. It can lead to vomiting of blood.

  • Treatment usually involves endoscopic procedures to stop the bleeding and medications to reduce stomach acid.

Please note that these are possibilities and not a definitive diagnosis.
