Black vomiting, or 'coffee-ground' emesis, is a serious medical emergency. It usually indicates digested blood in the stomach, often from a bleeding ulcer or esophageal tear. Go to the nearest hospital emergency room immediately.

While I usually like to keep things light, black vomiting is definitely not something to joke about or ignore. It means there is bleeding inside, so skip the internet and go to a hospital emergency room right now.

Please do not wait for even a minute. My father had this and it was due to a severe bleeding ulcer that caused his blood pressure to drop dangerously low. Go to the hospital emergency department right now.

Do not seek home remedies or wait for online replies for this. Black vomit means there is internal bleeding in your upper gastrointestinal tract. Shut down your phone and head straight to a hospital.
