Specks of blood...

Attempted to take my vitamins a bit ago, couldn't finish all of them before I started throwing up (ugh I kno, sorry!) Well I noticed some specks of blood. Not sure if I should worry or not. I'm 19days PO, thinking it might be from stomach healing? I don't know. Help!

Probably, but best to call the doctor to just ask. :)

What color is the blood? Bright red or dark? Might be best to call your doctor.

You know what? I can't eat!! And I can't get through to the Dr.! Ughhhhh

I day of surgery, after surgery I kep throwing up pure blood and my doctor check med and said some people do that. Bright red blood and he said it was because if all the meds on an empty stomach but told me not to be alarmed. I haven't done it since then.

Scary Addry! I sure hope you are able to get in touch with dr soon. You can't eat at all? How is drinking?

I don't like what the dr said. If you still have a lot of blood coming up and can't keep anything down I'd go to the ER. Bright red doesnt sound normal to me.

Have you been taking any proton pump inhibitors or antacids after the surgery?
