Vomiting blood: Vomiting of blood is caused by an injury to the stomach or esophagus, and needs to be evaluated immediately. Please report to the nearest emergency department. Pooping blood is also concerning and may be caused by the same problem or other problems. Go to the er immediately.

Please go to: The emergency room. This is not a good combination of symptoms -especially if the stool is liquid -like.
