I've been really worried since I had this scary episode last night. I was sleeping when I suddenly felt like I was going to vomit, and when I did, I ended up throwing up a lot of blood. It happened four times, and the last one had a dark brown color while the others were dark red. I also had a huge coughing fit. What could be going on? Should I be concerned?

View allI had laparoscopic surgery a while back but still get morning nausea and a bloated stomach sometimes. I've been taking nexpro rd 40 on an empty stomach in the morning, acta pro 100 mg three times a day, folvite two tablets three times a day, and essogress l before dinner at 8 pm since March 2019. How much longer do I need to keep taking these meds?
it's highly recommended to speak with your doctor about the ongoing need for these medications, especially since you've been taking them for a long period. They can assess your individual situation, consider the benefits and risks of continuing the medications, and determine the best course of action for your specific needs.

I'm concerned because I seem to be passing motion about 4-5 times a day, especially after 12 hours of eating anything, and it happens more when I'm at the office. But when I'm at home, it's only about twice, like in the morning and evening. Why could this be happening, and is there something specific I should do?

I'm feeling really uncomfortable after recovering from COVID. I've got this ongoing gastric issue, and I'm experiencing pain on the right side under my ribs. There's some kind of stomach disorder going on, and I also feel this lower abdomen pain in the mornings. Thankfully, it does ease up after a bowel movement, but it's concerning. What might be causing all this, and is there something specific I should be doing to feel better?
take tablet pantop and drink plentyof fluids
