What Causes Vomiting Of Dark Brown Fluid?
Hi there, My husband has had 1 episode every month since July where he vomits a very dark brown liquid. It also usually goes with extreme toothache the same night before he vomits. We will go to sleep and after about 2 hours he will run to the bathroom. After the vomit episode he will have to sit up straight for about 30 minutes before he can get into bed and sleep again. Please help

Hello
Thank you for your query.
Dark brown vomiting is not normal. If there is a bleeding ulcer in the stomach for longer duration it causes brownish vomiting. Your husband needs to get his endoscopy done. As early aspossible and also the complete blood count done.
Regards
