@jlharsh Sorry for the late reply. Also sorry to say I don't have a lot of confidence in my family doc. But that's what's available and she should have the results of the biopsies. This is Wednesday. They were from some locations upper GI and from the polyps they removed. So I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy after I had a CT scan. It's been two weeks and I'm feeling better and have no bleeding that I can see. I haven't done any vigorous stuff around the yard as that was what I was doing when the bleeding started. And yes I am taking baby aspirin but only one half a day. So everything is improving and I haven't had any heart symptoms. I will report back after my upcoming visit. Thanks for your note. Also, let me say I believe going to the ER with an issue like this since they've always gotten to the bottom of my symptoms. I arrived at the small town country hospital on Sunday afternoon and had the CT in less than an hour along with bloodwork. They set up the endoscopy Monday afternoon and had results which led to the colonoscopy on Wednesday and I left later that afternoon. They checked top to bottom about as quickly as they could. That prep took awhile. I've talked to several people my age and found many of them have experienced the same bleeding and had no active bleeding after the tests.
And the bruising on my arms is really bad. I can't believe it's okay to ignore it any longer. Your mention of famotidine is new to me, I'll look this up later tonight. Take care, thanks again.
