Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar Kini and I am pleased to answer your query.
The pain could be due to peptic ulcer disease. Since you have had blood in the vomitus, an upper GI endoscopy may be done for evaluation. Continue taking omeprazole for relief.
Also for the blood in stool, colonoscopy may have to be done. If you are constipated, the bleeding could be due to hemorrhoids or fissure in which case you may have to take fiber supplements and drink plenty of fluids.
I hope that answers your question.
