I got really scared today b/c I threw up a
couple of clumps of blood. That has
never happened to me before. Also, I felt
like my heart was skipping a beat now and
then but if that were the case, i'd feel
more than a tiny bit out of breath for a
second, right? I'd probably pass out.
And four hours later, if I am still alive
and well, and am able to eat (albeit with
some pain in my chest area), that probably
means none of this was serious, right?
But how do I know if it ever is serious?
I wasn't about to go to an er and have
some doctor laugh at me.
Thanks for any info you might have.

Ok honey, firstly, no one would laugh @
you! Especially a doctor, they are there
to help you. And I think any doctor would
agree that throwing up blood is a bad
sign. Everytime you throw up ur food, you
put urself at risk and in danger. You
need to get urself some help b/c maybe
next time u wont be so lucky. I think you
no that too. Do you really want to do
this to urself? To your body?

I can imagine what you must be going
through! Having been bulimic myself, I
threw up blood once, and I was so scared,
I thought I was gonna die. I saw a
doctor, though.
I can tell that you seem to be in denial
(no offense). Throwing up blood is
serious. Please go and see a doctor or
to the hospital right away. No-one will
laugh at you! You are ill. You could
have ruptured your stomach, or your
esophagus. You may have internal
bleedings. Please, see a doctor for your
own good. I'm kind of worried about you.

I know whats wrong, its happened to me
when I was sick, its because you have
thrown up too much and your stomach has
been scratched, try to stop vomiting and
take it easy, drink water. But just
incase go to doctors.

Thanks for your advice and concern,
everybody. I didn't go to the doc but I
am ok today even though I still did my
usual b/p routine. I know I have to help
myself but I can't and nobody else can
help me, either. Such is life.
On the bright side, I am glad that I found
this forum. It helps to have a place to
go if one needs to talk.
