Hello Sir.. Can you please mention what pill do you take..
Past PCI generally doctors priscibe pts aspirin with/without clopidegrel
These drugs are likely to increase the bleeding tendency and risk of peptic ulcer disease.
If you are taking any of these... Let me know whether you having black stool (Malena) or its fresh bolld in stool.
Please consult your doctor for this .. And it would be better idea for you to get a
Complete blood count done with ugi endoscopy to rule out nsaid induced ulcer
Your doctor may modify the dosage
Please contact your treating doctor soon.
