What Is The Cause For Vomiting Blood With Strict Diet And Work Outs?
hi my boyfriend is having a problem and wont admit it, he coughs up blood a lot, he has a very strict diet and works out a lot. when he breaks his diet which is protein shakes and stuff like that he gets very light headed and cant walk well and coughs up blood. ive seen him puke blood. im very scared and its making me nervous. ive done research and found cf (cystic fibrosis) and he has gone to the doctors a few times and they all said theyve never seen nothing like it before but i dont believe they took the time to figure it out.. im just wondering if you have any ideas.

Vomitting blood in young age is not common. My most probable diagnosis is because of either smoking or lung infection. Are you sure that your boyfriend was not taking any steroid for body building as they may cause such symptoms also.IS he has cough also because chronic cough can also causes such symptoms.
