Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My mother has COPD , is 88, and yesterday my sister took her to Olive Garden and she had lasagna. As soon as she got home she began vomiting black and got sick elsewhere in house - all black. My sister left her with the mess and went home. She said she was too weak to clean up and will do so this morning. I usually clean house because she is so weak. What is this vomit....she won't go to doctor because she wants to die at home

It seems like she has severe acidity, and also has gastritis. and the black color vomit resembles the degraded blood oozed from the lining of the stomach.She needs to go to the emergency room to rule out intra intestinal bleeding which can cause drop of haemoglobin.
