Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Persistent GERD problem with expression of blood can be associated with gastric ulcers or esophageal varices. Bleeding disorders also need to be ruled out after blood bleeding and coagulation profiles.
You need a thorough evaluation by a gastroenterologist and specific treatment according to the cause detected.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
