A member asked:

I've been throwing up yellow an red liquid my stomach is empty so i'm sure it's stomach acid mixed with blood what does this mean???

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hematemesis: Vomiting blood needs to be evaluated emergently either by your MD or in an ER. You could have an ulcer, hemorrhagic gastritis or a tear at the gastroesophageal junction (mallory weiss tear). Please get this checked out ASAP!
