stomach issues, what happen?

I'll urge you to go to a doctor today too, if you haven't already.

I didn't think you could die of ulcers either, but the surgeon says holes in your body with blood pouring out are the same whether they're on the inside or the outside, so I guess you can.

It could be other serious things too. A bit over a year ago I had the black tarry stools theSHADOW talk about. three weeks after I went to the doctor I was getting an operation for colon cancer.
I really hope I scared you .

i hope you have made it to the dr since your last post. And i hope everything is all right. Please let us know either way. The very least we could do is keep you in our warm happy thoughts and pray to our choice of deity.

nope. checked for that too since it happened just shades of brown and green. hubs is making me go to free clinic tomorrow when they open

Hematemesis is not a minor symptom; you may only have puked up a small amount of blood, but you don't know what's going in the other direction. Has your stool been dark and tarry? You need to see a doctor.

the amount of blood was about enough to fill a very small sauce cup. the kind that mcdonalds used to give for their ketchup. it would have maybe filled it halfway.

there was no actual pain during or after but if i eat anything that has the slightest bit of spice - spicey - or pepper to it, it comes back.
I figure an ulcer...there is a place i can go but the thing is...i'd be there all day just going over freaking paperwork and MAYBE be seen before closing time...
this place is notorious for that

maybe it is an ulcer that if i eat enough to raise the acid level in my stomach it irritates it or any spice. so far ramen and bread as snacks help. of course ramen without the flavor packet

I understand being broke, but as someone who nearly died ignoring a stomach problem, all I can say for sure is that you need to find a way to be seen ASAP.

QFT. It could be something minor, or it could be life-threatening. Blood coming from unexpected areas isn't a good thing and can be very, very bad.

I understand being broke, but as someone who nearly died ignoring a stomach problem, all I can say for sure is that you need to find a way to be seen ASAP. Most hospitals will work with you if you don't have a lot of money. Mine has a program that will pay off a huge chunk (or all of) your bill if you qualify.

I started ignoring my stomach pain immediately, dismissing it as indigestion. 12 hours later, I was being prepped for emergency surgery, and if I had waited much longer, my body would have gone toxic and I would have died. It sucked, but it was better than being dead.

ok...this is very hard for me right now but please READ ALL OF IT.
This is difficult because i already know the answer and please please understand i know where I need to go but am in a financial crunch and lets just say bills are paid fridge is stocked and thats it, have gas enough to get to work after that we broke. And because of some stupid bs with insurance - currently sorting out - i don't know if i am on hubs insurance and don't know if it will cover me for this.

Earlier this week had an issue and what I ate came back up with blood. To make it short and spare gross-ness there is no doubt it was blood regardless of what I ate.

Whatever I did/ate it didn't hurt save for the nausea and a bit afterwords. but now i can maybe keep ramen or bread down. and no i am not expecting nor dehydrated. anything with the slightest seasoning even a bit of salt kills me but no blood. do i have an ulcer? and if so what can i do to help without making it worse until i can go have it looked at or even go to the local clinic?

if there is more needed to know please pm me, still struggling with this and go ahead and gripe me out if you must
