Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
Blood seen after a 'Big" vomiting could be due to a small tear in the lower end of the esophagus.
Since you did not have any further bleed and you feel alright, there is no need to worry.

But however I recommend you to get an upper GI endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr.R.K
