What Causes Blood In The Vomit With Abdominal Pain?
I am occasionally throwing up blood with pain in my lower right side stomach area. I am under alot of stress and depression if that matters at all. I quit smoking for 2 years and recently started again to about a pack a day. Where before I quit I was around half a pack a day.

Hi.
Well, the first thing to decide id whether the blood is coming from the lungs with cough or is coming from the stomach with vomiting.
Secondly - if the blood is coming this has to be investigated urgently to see the cause , for example in your case this can be due to an ulcer in the stomach or the duodenum; or there can be blood vessel dilatation. Go for urgent Upper GI endoscopy and ultrasonography and an X-ray Chest.
Proper diagnosis is a must to have a perfect treatment.
