Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I understand your concern.

These symptoms are directly related to liver dysfunction.

Liver dysfunction is associated with erosive changes in the stomach which can cause bleeding episodes.

I advise you to have a through screening for the above.

I advise you to get an Ultrasound of liver and upper GI endoscopy/UGIE to document the cause.

Additionally blood tests like PT (prothrombin time) will help.

Further management is based on test results.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
