Hematemesis: Throwing up blood is not normal. Was alcohol involved, is there a history of ulcer disease. Yes please take a picture of any blood that comes up and take him to the hospital.

Hematemesis: Or throwing up blood reflects an ongoing gastrointestinal bleeding and needs to be addressed quickly. Your partner needs to be assessed timely at one of the closest hospitals.
