What Causes Blood In Vomit Along With Diarrhea And Headache?

I had bloody vomiting w/mucous, headache, diarrhea, queasy stomach, achy ribs upon inspiration and nausea after initially throwing up a pizza from the night before. I am a 59 year old female with an old positive PPD from the 80 s. Other things that have occurred ... I had an untreated, repeatedly misdiagnosed UTI. I won t be getting a flu shot until this coming Saturday. What could be going on?

HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for posting your query


It seems like you are having Stomach Infection due to food Poisoning 9 most likely due to Pizza ) and because of vigorous vomiting you may have sustained mild tear in your stomach wall or food pipe that has causes blood in vomitus.

If the blood was more and if it recurs then you better rush to ER and you may require Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and intervention to stop bleeding . But if it is not recurring or if the blood was less you can just consult your doctor at your convenience as you require Antibiotics for food poisoning and medications to stop further vomiting.

Till then don't take any solid food or spicy food . Just be on liquid diet.

Hope this information is useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
