Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I started having very tarr black stool movements about 36 hours ago. as soon as I go I feel better but soon start feeling slightly nauseous and feel I need to go again. I also feel faint when rising after sitting for a while. Where my normal rhythm is daily in the AM I find I m going every 5-6 hours. I am on coumadin but am pretty regular with a 2.5 PT.
I think you should consider going to Emergency room because you are heaving melena that is bleeding from gastrointestinal tract. Stop taking Coumadin drug; it may be a side effect of medications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Olgeta Xhufka
