Scared the Sh*t Out of Myself
Posted: 10-25-04 19:26pm

I recently threw up some of my food and noticed bits of blood. And when I spit it out, it was red. Has this happened to anyone else and what does this mean or what should I do? (other than stop purging), I don't think i'll be doing that again, but then again I say that all the time. Any advice will be appreciated, i'm really scared what this could mean. Thanks.

Hey, well vomiting blood could mean a few things such as torn tissue in the esophagus or torn lining in the throat or stomach. You have a good reason to be scared and I think you should go see a doc. Just to be sure.

Yes, this is one of the biggest reasons I stopped purging... My doctor said my esophagus was close to rupturing (or a blood vessel in it), and if I didn't stop i'd either die or if I was lucky i'd eat thru a tube for the rest of my life. You need to stop before it gets bad :-/ let us know how its going

Yes, that post by me was on october 25th. Today is novermber 26th. Wow a month of no purging. I am thankful that I vomited blood, it gave me a reason to stop. Hope I never do it again.
