• I saw small amounts of blood while throwing up?

I just got done throwing up and I notice small amounts of blood after hurling. As you would get from a small scratch or cut is that ok or should I seek medical attention?

This can be serious. Seek medical attention if having chest pain. Severe hurling 'vomiting' can cause esophageal rupture and injury with bleeding. Also stomach inflammation or ulcers can cause bleeding.
