A Diabetic And Angina Patient Given Iv Antibiotics After Circumcision And Vomiting Dark Grey Matter With Severe Chest Pain. Should He Be Hospitalized?

My husband has been in hospital since Boxing Day with infection after being circumcised, he was sent home today and has since been vomiting a dark grey substance. He had been on intravenous antibiotics, has not eaten or drunk nothing today. He is also diabetic, and suffers angina, he has had chest pains since vomiting. Do you think he should go back to hospital.

hi
first - wishing u a happy new year
and welcome to our site

read your query
that is a very significant question
and i appreciate your problem

i will try my best to answer your query

i think it is always good to visit the hospital
in his case i think the problem is that the diabetes is not letting
the infection get treated fully
however if he has persistent vomitting you should get to a hospital for sure
persistent vomitting in diabetics can lead to other complications too like DKA

meanwhile check out cbc kft and pt-inr
a stool for occult blood may be a good idea too

chest pain may be due to the forceful vomitting
so i dont think thats related to angina

i hope this helps you
inform the reports mentioned above
so i can be of help further
best of luck

(please do understand that some problem remains as
online texting cuts down history and examination
thereby reducing the effect and efficiency
and increases reliance on tests)
