Brief Answer:
Go to ER

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM.


Your wife must go to hospital and do urgent gastroscopy since these are signs if possible stomach ulcer bleeding.

This is not lifethreating and this point but it may become eventually if delayed further.

You need to see doctor with no delay.

Wish Your Wife gets well soon.
