Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Do a upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy top find out thee bleeding spot. If these tests fail to give appropriate results, then you can go for radioisotope scan, which can precisely detect bleeding spots. Consult a astroenterologist and he will direct you accordingly.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
