Passing a stone: Passing a kidney stone often creates nausea and vomiting; blood with emesis is not usual and indicates irritation or even a small "tear" in the stomach mucosa or esophagus mucosa; this is an occurrence that can happen with wretching - severe stimulus to vomit; the wretch can tear the mucosa a bit; the remedy: medication to reduce urge to vomit, like compazine; and a "coating" med like sulcralfate
