A member asked:

Suffering with hartburn tonight, i'm on lansoprozl as and when, i just however coughed up some bright red blood mixed with phlem. should i worry?

Blood: probably due to local irritation from the stomach or esophagus. Refrain from any ibuprofen, aspirin or vit e ( blood thinners) but you should be seen by a GI as soon as possible for an endoscopy. If the blood continues you need to go to the ER
