Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I got real weak during the night. My joints and muscle were aching and I was sweating a lot. I started vomiting purple. I have bleeding ulcers but I thought that had healed. To day my b/p continues being low. 80/50. My insurance hasn t started yet. I m 61 y.o. Female . Can you help?
Vomiting purple is a sign of gastric bleeding to my impression since you have history of bleeding ulcers. It is a must to get an upper endoscopy for further evaluation as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, I advise to: - avoid citrus, coffee, chocolate, energetic drinks and foods - have light meals (curd, fruits, vegetables, soups) - drink more water - do not use aspirin, or any other NSAIDs pain killer
Once again, you need to get further evaluated by a GI specialist as soon as possible.
Wish fast recovery! Dr.Albana
