Vomiting blood 6 weeks post op

[Christina Phillips 9]

So I have been vomiting blood! I called Dr office and left message with answering service. They called me back and it was a dr I didn't know standing in for my dr. She suggested prilosec bc it could be an ulcer. When I called I had only thrown up once today with blood. Well now I've thrown up since I've been home about 4x and all have deep red color still. She said something about basically resting the rest of the wknd taking it easy on foods and that shed let my dr know what was going on and that I may need an endoscopy. My daughter just got home from buying the prilocec for me and I am Literally scared to try to swallow it. I barely even ate anything at the restaurant too and didn't even get a sip outta my water....I am so upset. I had to run out and threw up in my car! Not the way I wanted to start the wknd! Ughhh! I am like an hour away from their emergency room too idk if I should go or not since I have thrown up since talking to her. Any suggestions?

Sorry, I don't have any suggestions other than what you have said (calling doc or going to ER), but I just wanted to say that I hope everything is ok, and that you are feeling better soon. 🙏🤞💞

I'd go to the ER as well. It's hard to tell what that is - bleeding ulcer, maybe? I don't know - but I'd certainly get in somewhere to have it checked out.

Hey guys, thanks for helping me out. I know I probably should have went to the hospital but I didn't get sick again after I posted that last one. I am sure I'll here from my dr tomorrow though so I'll see what he says. I had my in laws down this wknd so I didn't get a chance to do any research but I'd assume I'm okay if it hasn't happened again right? Or am I just being dumb and need to still be seen? Ugh idk..I feel fine ever since yesterday evening... so I'd think I'm okay...I can eat food again with no major issues so idk
I will keep you guys posted on what happens tomorrow or this week on if the dr decides to see me. Thanks:)
