Hello. Thank you for posting.
Vomiting blood (hematemesis) refers to significant amounts of blood in your vomit. Small streaks or flecks of blood in the material you spit up may come from the teeth, mouth or throat and isn't usually considered vomiting blood. Blood in vomit may be bright red, or it may appear black or dark brown like coffee grounds.
Swallowed blood, as from a nosebleed or forceful coughing, may cause bloody vomit, but truly vomiting blood usually represents something more serious and requires immediate medical attention.
