I am a great deal older than most of the advisers on this site, so my advice will be somewhat different from what you have received and may continue to receive from others.

I see two problems in what you have written. I will start with the blood in you vomit. Whenever you have signs of internal bleeding it is best to have it checked out by a doctor or nurse practitioner. None of us on this website are medical professionals and should not be making medical diagnoses. We are also the wrong people to be asking about medical problems, only your doctor who knows your physical make up or a doctor who can do a complete physical can determine the cause of anything that is medically wrong with you.

You need to see a doctor and have this bleeding problem checked out. If you are under 18 ask tell your parents what happened and ask one of them to accompany you to the doctor. You can leave out the fact that you were drinking when talking to your parents if you feel you need to but you need to tell the doctor. I will not address the underage drinking as I am sure your doctor will.

The second problem is working out and skipping meals. When working out you need a proper diet to keep your body in balance. By working out you are not just burning fat you are burning off electrolytes and other things your body needs. An over simplification is to look at your body as a car engine. You may have plenty of oil in the crankcase, but if you do not refill the gas tank eventually the engine will stop running.

Go to the doctor and get the blood thing checked out. While you’re there ask your doctor about a diet for you to follow for your workout routine.

Hello,

It could be Mallory-Weiss Syndrome. And in case you are worrying, it's not dangerous.

Eating disorder and excessive consumption of alcohol are usually the cause of Mallory-Weiss syndrome, which, from your post, you have committed both of them, lol.

The bleeding is from a tear somewhere in your cardiac sphincter (it's the valve between your stomach and your esophagus).

It should heal by itself after a while. But if you continuously vomit blood, if you experience excessive pain, or if you are just simply worry, go to a doctor for more correct diagnosis. Because, you see, I am only guessing based on what you told me; I am not a doctor, hehehe.


You can find more info on Mallory-Weiss tear here: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

It uses a lot of medical terms so you might need to use a dictionary for that though.


By the way, did you happen to eat strawberry, cherry, or something that has red color in it? Not sure, but that might be what you thought to be blood.


Hope this helps in some way,
Ng2491 =)

Many problems, many levels, but none of us are doctors. We CANNOT legally or ethically diagnose you. If you believe there was blood in your vomit, you need to go to the ER, like, yesterday.

Further analyzing - First problem (#1): you were hungry and didn't eat. Second problem (#2): You didn't eat and started drinking. Third problem (#3): You've been skipping breakfast.

Further detail: #1 - LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. If you're hungry, chances are you aren't giving your body enough nutrients. Therefore, it craves more of the necessary fuels. Therefore, you get hungry.
#2 - Alcohol is an irritant, and a poison. If you drink on an empty stomach, chances are you'll puke. Food acts as a buffer for the poison, and stops it from doing as much harm as it normally would. If you must drink, PLEASE do it responsibly and intelligently. It's not worth making yourself sick just for a buzz. Seriously. If you have one or two drinks instead of enough to make you puke, you'll find you feel much better.
#3 - Food is fuel for your body like gasoline is fuel for a car. You need it, plain and simple. The best way to keep yourself healthy and to even help yourself become healthiER is to speed up your metabolism. You can do that by eating small, balanced meals every three or four hours. It forces your body to work faster to digest what you put into it, and therefore catches up with itself. It's tried and true. I lost - and kept off - 20 pounds by doing that. Also, working out for two hours isn't always the best idea, unless you're on a sports team. Your body stops responding healthily to a normal workout after about an hour, MAYBE an hour and a half, ESPECIALLY if you're not eating enough. If you're serious about physical improvement, you need to eat. Better to work out smarter, not harder. But, I digress. Skipping breakfast will, if anything, SLOW DOWN your metabolism. Breakfast gives it a jump-start. Eating something early on gets your metabolism moving, and you can keep it moving if you take care of yourself, eat well, and eat often.

In short, my advice to you is to take care of yourself. EAT before you drink. LISTEN to your body. TAKE CARE of your body. It's the only one you have.
