Emergency Please take Husband to ER immediately

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

I am very concerned that you husband is having internal GI bleeding. This is a life threatening condition and he needs to be seen immediately.

He may have caused his GI bleeding from taking NSAIDs like aspirin or ibuprofen for the headache.

Please take him immediately to the ER
