Could be. Call MDnow: Vomiting black or coffee ground looking stuff could be blood. Black tarry looking stool could be blood. Pepto bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) can give black looking stuff too. Call your doc now.

Really serious!: Black or coffee-ground looking material likely is blood denatured by acid in your stomach. You're bleeding! stop the beer and smokes, avoid nsaid's (like ibuprofen, aleve, (naproxen) advil, aspirin) and get yourself right to the emergency room please (call 911 now if you're dizzy or weakening).
