what does throwing up blood mean?

It depends.

Do you have an ED? As you are posting in this forum, I will assume you do. I will also assume you are bulimic. Are you vomiting blood after everything else is gone?

This is dangerous because it means there is a tear or rip somewhere inside you, probably your stomach. This can get infected, or worse. It could also be from a tear in your esophagus (sp?).

Here's some information for you. The links are quoted with them:

Inflammation & rupture of the esophagus
Stomach acid irritates the esophagus, which can cause inflammation and raw areas, sometimes making swallowing painful. Of greater concern is a rupture of the esophagus, because this can be fatal in some cases. A Mallory-Weiss tear is the technical term for a the rupture of tearing of the mucous membrane of the esophagus at its junction with the stomach. It is caused by repeated vomiting (although it is possible for it to occur after just one purging episode) and the person will have bright red blood in their vomit. Although a tear often heals itself after a few days, this is NOT ALWAYS THE CASE AND YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR IF YOU ARE VOMITING BLOOD.

Stomach ulceration
A peptic ulcer refers to an area of the stomach or duodenal lining (the tube that leads away from the stomach) which becomes eroded by stomach acid. These are known as stomach and duodenal ulcers, collectively known as peptic ulcers. The symptoms can vary, with some people not noticing anything out of the ordinary but others may vomit blood and experience abdomen or chest pains. The pain is usually increased when the individual eats or drinks. Peptic ulcers can be serious and need immediate attention if you are vomiting blood or passing digested blood in your stools.

Esophagus:

-Painful burning in throat or chest
-May vomit blood from small tear(s) in esophagus
-Rupture of the esophagus, may lead to circulatory collapse and death

[/font][/font]Regardless of how long you have been bulimic or how often you vomit, you need to see a doctor. This could lead to major complications.

Yes, that's bulimia, when you throw up things that you have eaten. You need to go see a doctor and then go see someone who can help you and figure out what the underlying issues are to make you do these things.

I don't know. But what I do know is that a doctor will know.

So you need to make an appointment and get yourself to a doctors for a check up. Be serious and tell him/her exactly what's wrong and how you feel.

If it is serious, you need some help before it gets any worse.

I've bled before and nothing happened to me but I wouldn't risk it.

Throwing up blood could mean a number of things. I would ask a doctor.
