A member asked:
Is vomiting two small dots of red blood going to hurt me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Flecks of blood when you throw up are not unusual - the strain of vomiting can cause small amounts of blood from the esophagus lining. Larger amounts, or repeated vomiting with blood can be a serious matter that should be checked out by a doctor.
