Question 1

what does it mean if my vomit is dark brown color?

Accepted Answer

Blood: I am concerned that you are bleeding into your stomach -- anything from too much pepperoni pizza to a life-threatening stomach ulcer. A physician's office visit is in order if this persists for more than a few days.

Question 2

vomited this morning and it consisted of brown flakes and some dark brown and black blobs. i didnt vomit to much.

Accepted Answer

Not Serious: it is likely not significant, unless it recurs;

Question 3

my daughter woke up early this  morning vomiting a dark brown mucus.  what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Vomiting: if she is vomiting mucous, it may maybe mixed with some old blood. If she has no fever and breathing well, try to use humidifier and drinking enough fluids.

Question 4

i forced myself to throw up and my vomit was a dark brown color and there wasn't a lot. is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Vomiting: Forced vomiting is never a good idea. Are you sure it wasn't blood altered by the stomach acid.

Question 5

what does blood in vomit look like? is it dark brown or more red?

Accepted Answer

Important question.: If you vomit blood, it can actually look just like coffee grounds. Of course, it can look like bright red blood - particularly if bleeding is heavy or rapid. Blood that works its way through the whole GI tract can look like tar: shiny black tar. Having said all this, it is important to be evaluated by a doctor if you are having these symptoms. Seek urgent help if you feel you are in danger.

Question 6

does eating meat make you vomit a dark brown powdery looking substance? or is that due to something else.
felt very nauseous before and right after vomiting?

Accepted Answer

: Sounds like you have an intestinal virus.  If the symptoms don't clear up in three days or get worse seek the help of a physician ASAP.

Question 7

vomitting so much it has now been 5 hrs and its hurts so bad to throw up that it is now dark brown/black liquid and everytime i sit up i vomit!

Accepted Answer

Get to the ER: Even if it isn't something serious , you need to get something to stop the vomiting. At this point, only an er can offer that. They also need to assess the dark brown/ black liquid. That is likely to be old blood.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

What are you waiting: Vomiting blood can be serious. Best to be seen today. Call your DR or go for urgent care or ER.

Question 9

i've been vomiting off and on sort of clear with dark brown tobacco looking ,right before had headache and neck hurt both went away after vomiting should i be concerned?
