    Well I don't know what it could be..you can throw up blood for various reasons.. anyway.. If it is still there tomorrow I suggest you go to the hospital,

    good luck..

    Ok.
    1st stupid question - have you eaten anything that is red? It sounds stupid, yes, but it can look like blood.

    2nd stupid question - when you say blood, what colour? Bright red? Or dark kinda tar-like?

    Are you currently ill/feverish (basically, do you have any idea why you were sick?)

    Why don't you give NHS direct a call this evening, rather than waiting to see you doctor tomorrow - you can call them on 08454647.

    On their website they have a self help guide that maybe of some use, but will probably just tell you what I've written above.... give them a call.

    Self help guide - throwing up

    Hope this helps, and you're feeling better again soon.

    Love Lu x

    i threw up what i thought was blood but doctor said it was actually just my stomach because the lining was raw- red after me overdosing on alcohol and greasy food in ibiza.

    i hadn't eaten anything red, chocolate actually. and it was like the color red when you cut yourself, but a smidgen darker. i could taste it and it was definatly a blood taste :/

    and since then it kinda hurts to swallow (so eat) and smoke.

    but thanks everybody. i'll just ask the doctor about it tomorrow.

    you might have torn your osophaegus (sp?) If youve thrown up a lot recently, thats a risk.
