Treatment For Vomiting Blood

I have been vomiting blood since 1 week, every day at least one cup in the morning and in the evening, I have not been able to meet the doctor in this regard. Can you tell me the measures that I could take to prevent this?

Vomiting one cup of blood is an emergency requiring urgent and immediate medical attention. As an immediate measure you can take ice cold water, rather than drinking the whole thing in one gulp take sips of it. Take a mouth full of water and keep it in your mouth for some time, before drinking it. Sit up straight with head tilted backwards, this will force the blood to go into your stomach and not force you to vomit. Seek immediate medical attention.
