Hello dear
Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query in details .
* This seems more of bleeding gastric ulcer rather than tear
oesophagus .
* Needs upper GI endoscopy for the confirmation of the diagnosis and
further management .
Wishing you fine recovery .
Feel free to ask any further queries .
Regards .
