8. Hematemesis
One symptom of H. pylori infection that should be considered as a medical emergency is hematemesis. It is a medical term for expelling or puking blood from the upper gastrointestinal region of the body. It is commonly misdiagnosed as hemoptysis or spitting out of blood from the upper respiratory tract.
People who have H. pylori and have developed peptic ulcers are the usual victims of hematemesis along with sufferers of Mallory-Weiss syndrome, those that are exposed to a high frequency of radiation, and more. If you have vomited blood, make sure to contact and run to the nearest medical provider as this symptom may lead to shock and fatality.
