Ulcer: Untreated stress ulcers can bleed, especially when taking nsaid's that irritate your stomach further and disturb platelet function. Depending on the extent of bleeding, you could vomit blood or have blood in your stool. This could become life-threatening. Hoping you're avoiding alcohol and learning to deal with your stress in healthy ways. Hoping you're also working with your doctor on ulcers.
