Green tea = vomiting

Hi,
     I have been having a problem with vomiting about twenty minutes after my first cup of morning green tea. I am a coffee drinker but I am on a diet that calls for none. I did this diet last year and the switch to tea as well.  I had the same results with the tea then and just dealt with it.
This time is diffrent as yesterday something popped between my breast bone and blood followed, it wasn't a lot, but enough to alarm me. Is it possible that the green tea is making me vomit due to a stomach problem that I am not aware of ?  I read about another person with this problem, it turned out to be a problem with incontinence. The patient had green bile, that is diffrent from me, mine is a bright yellow.
Thank You, Scherees

It could be fluoride; the same thing happened to me when I drank tea.  I would also get dizzy and have panic attacks; even with decaf tea.

I can only tell you of my experience with green tea.  I drink organic green tea and it has very little caffeine as well as no artificial anything.  Any other kind of green tea can have additives that your stomach does not like and this may be causing your vomiting.
You probably have burst a blood vessel and this may have caused blood in your vomit. Sometimes depending on how hard you cough or vomit this may happen.  Hope this helps.
