A member asked:

I just found out that my grandma went to the hospital because she was throwing up blood in the middle of the night. possible causes for this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood vomiting: It means your granma has a serious bleeding problem originating in her gastrointestinal tract. I am sure the hospital is working hard to discover the reason.
