My Husband went to the ER Thursday night 10pm and came home later around 3am. He was diagnosed with Epigastric Pain and anemia , and prescribed Prevpac and iron supplements . A week within going to the ER, stools looked darker than normal. Since going to the ER, had already took 2 doses of Prevpac and iron supplements, but don t know if should continue because, he just had a bowel movement , but with this bowel he had shortness of breath and felt like something was blocked in mid abdominal , and his stool looked darker and softer than before he took the meds. Shouldn t his bowels look more normal and movements less comfortable now that he s on meds?
