Brief Answer:
Possible liver dysfunction.Need UGIE
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.
