I agree with you: It is time to have a formal evaluation. Most likely if available someone should look down your throat and into your stomach with a scope. You deserve a proper diagnosis to be made. GI specialists are generally the ones who do this.

Bleeding: Well, any vomit with blood in it should be followed up by a GI specialist. An upper endocsopy (EGD) would be warranted even if it is coming from your esophagus and treatment can be started once officially diagnosed. See the GI ASAP. Good luck.
