Dr. Elden Rand answered

Specializes in Cardiology

Loss of blood: When you have a GI bleed, blood leaves the bloodstream and enters the GI tract- esophagus, stomach, and large intestine most commonly. If you have a significantly lesser amount amount of blood in your bloodstream, low blood pressure (hypotension) can result.
