i have had h pylori for over 3 years. It took that long to figure out what it was. Now my doctor is certain I have produced peptic ulcers. I went to the er a week ago and have internal bleeding. I am supposed to get and upper endo done in two weeks. I do not know if i can wait that long. My stomach is completely bloated. I have sever abdominal pain, burning esophaugus, black stools and my stomach is tender to the touch. It almost brings me to tears immediatly. Should I wait for my appoinment or go to the ER. Pain on scale of 1-10 is 8.
The pain scale to be 8 and the symptoms and signs specified by you clearly tell that your problem has further increased, and black stools may be a sign of upper GI bleed in patients with your symptoms advice you to go for an endoscopy at the earliest and till then if you want to postpone it go for some antacids or proton pump inhibitors and taking frequent small means with plenty of water ND completely listening spicy foods priority is gone for endoscopy right away
