He posted a few vomit pics - first bright red, then the digested (coffee brown) type
He's mentioned a stomach ulcer before so maybe that perforated. If he's still throwing that up, or passing dark stools, hopefully he's in the ER by now
Holy shit, I had no clue.
All shit aside, I hope the guy is ok. I don't want anyone here to have serious health issues.
Geez man. There are so many things that can cause hematemesis. Here's to hoping that separate from the worst case scenarios (GI cancers), that it's something with a clear cause/origin like gastritis, esophagitis, a bleeding ulcer, H. Pylori infection or even incessant Aspirin or NSAID use (very common with bodybuilders that have pain issues, see: Tom Prince).
If it's a bleeding ulcer, the guy will have to get on antibiotics, PPI and some good old fashion Pepto Bismol. Although not as common, if the pictures showed heavy amounts of frank blood, he could need surgery.
Does anyone know what hospital he is at? We can send him a GetBig care package filled with some protein bars, a coupon for orange chicken and some other merchandise Ron has access to.
Speedy recovery.
