Brief Answer:
This is suggestive of bleeding in the intestines(stomach)
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this follow up.
This is suggestive of bleeding in the stomach. Being on blood thinners also, am concerned. It is not a direct sign of liver disease. I will recommend that you ask your doctor to review your clotting profile. You may also need medication to protect the stomach as well as a test to look for the cause of this. The best person to talk to is a gastroenterologist.
I wish you well. Keep me updated and feel free to request for more information if needed.
