If you're throwing up almost every morning you definitely need to see a doctor. Since there are red splotches I would think you need to take this even more seriously. You may have an ulcer.

I second that. I mean, don't panic or anything, but you definitely need to be checked out like yesterday.

There's only one bodily fluid that's red, and if you've been vomiting it, it points to a few potential health problems, all of which - ALL - require you to see a doctor.

ASAP.

Yeah, purple - it's not normal to be throwing up every morning and certainly not to be throwing up blood. Go whether you have insurance or not! Don't wait till January.

This has potential of being very serious. GO TO THE ER, NOW. Insurance or not. Figure that part out later.

Do go see a doctor immediately, there are a number of potential problems surrounding bile which include the following:

  • Stomach Ulcer
  • Gall Bladder Problems
  • (Serious) Viral Infections
  • Colitis
  • Appendicitis

All of these can be potentially very dangerous, I've had similar problems before.

Smart guy. All possibilities that ran through my head. (Except appendicitis seems unlikely to me.) Blockages, viruses, bleeds, inflammation, cancer... It could be anything... NOT GOOD!

Appendicitis can cause all sorts of fun (fortunately mine hasn't popped yet). Gall bladder problems/viruses generally cause Jaundice. I guess as you are being sick your skin and eyes turn yellow?

If this is happening then you most certainly have a virus or gall bladder problem. This could be serious. Your body requires good bile distribution for digestion, you could fuck up your internals if it is long term.
