Question 1

i just threw up what i think was blood and now my chest hurts. what cold this be and what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Seek medical care: Vomiting blood is a red flag and deserves immediate evaluation especially with pain afterward. You could have an ulcer or a tear in the esophagus.

Question 2

why am i vomiting blood and chest pain?

Accepted Answer

Hematemesis : get to the ER those symptoms are serious and need evaluation

Question 3

hi sir,  i was vomiting blood and i was only coughing while bleeding and i don't have any fever  or chest pain and i did blood test in which blood count was low   then i did xray of chest in the report it says mild infiltration in right upper zone?

Accepted Answer

: How much blood? COughing up blood can be an emergency. I wonder if you have TB. There are other reasons for your symptoms. See a doctor

Question 4

cervical esophageal pain (worse when swallowing), normal hr & bp, temp 99.5 after egd with biopsies and dilation for 48 hrs post-procedure. no blood in stool, vomiting, or significant chest pain. should i be concerned about a perforation?

Accepted Answer

: Those symptoms are not rare after an esophageal dilatation and biopsy. The esophagus wall is quite thick so perforation with biopsy or dilatation is rare. Mediastinal pain (pain in your chest behind the breast bone and high fever are the symptoms of esophageal perforation and mediastinitis, not bloody vomit or stool. Keep monitor your temperature for now and eating bland diet.

Question 5

i've contracted a cold from a 8 month baby, i've now got a bad sore throat, chest pain and bad breathing and when ever i cough i taste blood.

Accepted Answer

Blood with ST, cold: It appears you have caught a cold, so treat with fluids and Tylenol for pain, fever. OTC meds for cold as needed, throat lozenges. Also, cold fluids for the broken 
throat capillary suspected from strong coughing. If
blood and coughing persist, see an MD for further
investigation or call for virtual appt with internist thru health tap.

Question 6

i did the chest x-ray but nothing came up, the cough and chest pain gone...now i feel a little tingling in my right arm and leg and a small swollen portion right above my left ear. it hurts when i touched, i feel blood pumping around that area too...could

Accepted Answer

Mgt: Other considerations for these symptoms include an arrhythmia, angina and hypertension.
I would suggest an EKG and another visit to your PCP.

Question 7

i just felt sick and had to throw up. now my chest  hurts especially when i swallow. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Esophagitis: Your emesis contained stomach acid: hydrochloric acid, which has likely irritated (or even burned) the lining of your esophagus. It will heal, but it will take time. Meanwhile, it wouldn't be a bad idea to used medication to counteract stomach acid like over the counter ranitidine or omeprazole. Unfortunately, I'm afraid it's like closing the barn door after the horse is out.

Question 8

had a sharp pain n tightness in chest it went up 2 my shoulder made me throw up. shortness of breath.now my chest hurts wen i try 2 take a deep breath?

Accepted Answer

SOB: You are a young female. What you are describing is something described as pleurtic chest pain. This being cardiac in origin would be unlikely. The shortness of breath can be secondary to 
1) Pulmonary Embolism
2) Small spontaneous pneumothorax
3) Musculoskeletal chest pain
4) If you are truly SOB would recommend to seek medical help. A chest Xray could help rule out #2 and a ddimer #1 then NSAID

Question 9

felt like heart was pounding. threw up. pounding feeling gone but now chest hurts and feels tight. history of anxiety. (never threw up from it)?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety can produce: catecholamine secretion (fight or flight reaction) and these hormones often produce nausea or vomiting. Heart pounding would be an additional affect of the hormones. The act of vomiting can strain the muscles and bones of your chest leading to discomfort. Counseling would be helpful to address the source of your anxieties and avoid future episodes.

Question 10

i have had a cough for 2 weeks sometimes causing vomiting. mucus was off white but now its green. no fever but chest hurts from coughing so much. help?

Accepted Answer

Sounds viral: These are common symptoms of most viral respiratory infections.  Make sure you get plenty of rest and fluids.  You can take Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin for the pain.  Use saline nasal spray for sinus drainage.  See your doctor if symptoms do not improve in the next few days.
