Hello doctor,
I am a 20 year old male. About three days ago, I vomited bright red blood after consuming excessive alcohol. This is the first time I have consumed more than one beer and I was also unconscious. I have not been having any pains or any other symptoms. After the first vomit of blood, I puked normally (no blood). Also, I was told my nose was red.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your post.
- At this age, bleeding with vomiting is likely due to an injury to the lower esophagus because of the force of the vomit.
- If the bleeding was severe, then an upper GI (gastrointestinal) endoscopy is necessary for two reasons.
- Alcohol drinking can cause a liver disease if you have been taking it for a long time, which results in esophageal varices and results in bleeding.
- To rule out a major injury to the esophagus.
- If it was mild, then taking PPI (proton pump inhibitors) for few weeks will settle the issue. However, you need to avoid alcohol in the future.
Regards.
