Question: Hi, I have vaginal bleeding for almost a week. I've had some spotting for a couple of years. And, I have had a few bad episodes of bleeding last year. I think that the Lisinopril could have been responsible for this. After I stopped taking it, I no longer had the heavy bleeding episodes. Each episode only lasted minutes and stopped. This present one has not and I'm wondering if it will on its own. When the bleeding started, I would have some very mild cramps. I have some blood clotting but not as bad as the ones I had last year. They were the size of golf balls. Also, it seems that my lower back on the left side is bothering me when I notice the bleeding. Sometimes, I notice spotting after eating spicy food, ginger and turmeric. Outside of the cramping with the onset of the bad bleeding episodes, I do not have any other discomfort. I very, very rarely get stomach aches and don't get heartburn. I always thought that I had a cast iron stomach. With this episode of bleeding, I seem to push out blood when I go to stand up or bend over. I can feel it. I do have some blood clotting but nothing as big as in the past. Again, my concern is what could have triggered this event and the duration of it. I am 65 and have arthritis, hypertension and high cholesterol. I'm presently not taking any blood pressure medication. I am taking Pravastatin. I will be seeing a doctor about this.

I am 65 and no longer having a menses.
