Is it normal to vomit blood?

I have been taking this new medicine that will hopefully shrink the tumors in my body. I've taking it since November of 09. Anyway, it makes me dehydrated real easily and makes me vomit when it happens. Last time it happened I puked a good amount of blood. Is this normal? I've felt fine since then.

      The doctor said it normal sometimes for it too happen. Something about ruptured blood vessel from vomiting...

    The medicine is probably doing it. Go to your doctor...you might want to find different medicine.

    It could be something as simple as a ruptured blood vessel in your digestive tract (not as bad as it sounds!). If your med is causing vomiting as a side effect then this may be the case. Good luck with your doctor anyway.

    vomiting blood could be serious- it's called a torn lining in your stomach and if it's significant you can bleed out.. Some meds thin the lining of your stomach and if your taking advil God forbid- you need to go to the er next time

    Ask your doctor. Vomiting a bit of blood can be relatively normal if you've been vomiting a lot, you can damage your esophagus that way and that usually isn't too serious unless it's bleeding so much you die of blood loss, but if you keep vomiting it could get worse or it could be caused by something more serious so you should get it checked out anyway.

      Thanks for the comment:) I am seeing the doctor very soon. Like I said I feel fine, but I'll see what the doc has to say.
