I : I don't recommend that you wait to be seen. The fact that you think you have an ulcer means that you are most likely experiencing severe abdominal pain. You are now passing bloody bowel movements. Blood is bowel movements can be bright red; dark (maroon) or in some cases there can be black, sticky, malodorous stool. I recommend that this be evaluated now.

Bloody stool: Bloody bowel movements are never anything that can wait. Along with abdominal pain you need to be examined asap to find the source of bleeding. The longer one waits the worse things could get. You need to have a gastorenterologist see you now or be evaluated closer by your physician.
