Gastroenteritis: This is often viral and self-limited, but some patients are unable to maintain adequate hydration or have developed complications. Without seeing the patient it is very difficult to offer sound advice, but would always err on the side of patient safety. If you have such a question it sounds as if seeing a doctor would be a good idea.

YES, RIGHT AWAY!: persistent vomiting with subsequent bleeding can be an emergency. Dizziness can suggest dehydration or blood loss. It sounds like this person is sick and needs to be evaluated ASAP
