Brief Answer:
Vist ER.Get UGIE
Detailed Answer:
Hi Madam,
I understand your concern.
Yes certainly any blood mixed vomitus has to be carefully evaluated.
You need to get blood investigations like Hb and HCT.
Upper GI endoscopy/UGIE is the most important investigation need in her case,since it localizes the source of bleed.
I advise you to visit ER at the earliest.
Further management is based on the test results.
Thank you.
