See GI doctor ASAP: You need to see a gastrointestinal doctor as soon as possible. You are likely having a upper GI tract bleed and may need urgent evaluation and treatment.

See Dr: You have some bleeding - maybe - so you should call your doctor today and talk to them about it. They may need to change medications and do some tests. Don't delay.
