Last night i was working at wal-mart, when i started feeling lightheaded, and weak. So i thought it was dehydration. So i went to get a drink of water. after i had my drink of water, i felt like i was going to puke. So i ran to the bathroom, where i proceeded to vomit projectically... i felt something pop in my chest and i started coming up with blood and nothing else. The rest of the night ive had a really sharp pain in my chest that hurts whenever i drink anything.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should immediately consult gastroenterologist and get done clinical examination and upper GI (gastrointestinal) copy to rule out bleeding from stomach or esophagus. You are having hematemesis (vomiting with blood). And gastric ulcer is the likely cause for this. You're all symptoms' chest pain, vomiting etc. are also suggestive of gastritis and gastric ulcer. So better to consult gastroenterologist and get done endoscopic examination of stomach. It is therapeutic also in stopping blood. Endoscopic measures like glue, banding etc. are helpful in stoppage of blood. Also do following things for better symptomatic relief. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid stress and tension. Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
