I noticed blood in my vomit again yesterday, and it's really got me worried. I work night shifts and tend to smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol almost every day. This last time it happened early in the morning after a night shift party. Could my lifestyle be the reason behind this? What should I do about it?

I'm really worried about my dad. Ever since he had an angioplasty about 20 days ago, he's been dealing with a lot of vomiting. It seems like he can't keep any solids down, except for fruits, ragi malt, and some dosas. Should I be concerned, and what might be causing this?

I'm worried about my brother. His SGOT is at 80 and SGPT is 50. He doesn't drink much, maybe once a month, and he's on the heavier side. My dad had hepatitis B, but my brother was tested four years ago after my dad passed away, and his test came back negative. I'm really concerned about what could be going on with him. Could you help figure out what's happening?
