Hello, and welcome to HCM!

You have a potentially life-threatening condition and need to be evaluated by a doctor IMMEDIATELY. It sounds like you have had serious bleeding in your gastrointestinal tract (stomach, intestines, etc). This can happen in patients who abuse alcohol and develop liver disease (cirrhosis). It is quite possible to bleed to death from this type of problem, so this is something you must take very seriously.

I wish you good health, and thank you for posting on HCM!
