Brief Answer:
Need Further evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hi Dear,
Thanks for your query.
Noted your symptoms and medical history of diabetes and
High blood pressure.
Also noted the history of
acid reflux disease.
Acid reflux can lead to ulcers in stomach or injury to stomach/
esophagus lining. Some times, blood can spurt out from these and will be digested by stomach acid and the blood turns brownish. This could have been the brownish liquid which you threw up.
I want to ask you few questions. Do you feel giddy on standing up ? Does your husband think that you are pale in your eyes and face now? Did you open your bowels since then? If yes, what was the colour? Black/dark brown ? and was it difficult to flush away ??
If any of the above is a YES, then please go to a hospital/ER ASAP. If you feel thirsty, please drink cold water. Avoid wine and alcohol completely. Please do not eat further if you are feeling nauseated.
With your medical history of diabetes, ( is it Type 1 ?) and since you are taking Humalog and lantus ( i presume it is 3 times humalog and Lantus once), you can not avoid food and insulin for a long time. This is a concern.
AVOID ASPIRIN or
CLOPIDOGREL as well as all PAIN KILLERS. ( if you are taking steroids for any reason, please stop that as well).
IT WOULD BE SAFE IF YOU GO TO A HOSPITAL ER and get evaluated. You need a lying and standing BP check up, Your
Haemoglobin level, a
stool test to see if there is any blood in that etc. If any of these are suspicious, then you will also need an upper gastro tract
ENDOSCOPY. Besides, your diabetes need to be monitored when you are not eating much.
I wish you a speedy recovery
Kind regards
Binu
