gastric bleeding
Posted , 7 users are following.
I cannot believe what these steroids are doing to me now! I will try to be as delicate as I can to explain my latest development. A few days ago after visiting the bathroom, I noticed, what I can only describe as a pile of coffee granules in the loo. This rung alarm bells, so I googled it and found out that as I suspected this was actually from internal bleeding somewhere. Somewhat apprehensive, I managed to book an emergency appointment with my surgery. Couldn't see my usual dr, so a tad emarassing having to explain details! Anyway he thinks it was due to my gastritis. He tested my iron levels which were not too bad for me (12). If it happens again or I start coughing up these granules I have to go straight back. Anyone else had this happen and if so, what was the outcome? I must admit I thought the dr was quite blase' about it. Hope everyone's having a 'good' day. Debbie

I read somewhere that twenty five per cent of women over forty have an hiatus hernia, I don't know how true that is. I suppose a lot of people don't know they have it. My father didn't until he had an endoscopy for something else.

Now for another question, have you talked to a Pharmacist about contra-indications for that list of meds.
Are you in the UK?
