HI
Well come to HCM
Thank for asking
I really appreciate your concern, the given history could be suggestive of acid peptic disease, blood stain vomiting is doubtful it may not be the blood but it is the food consistency may give such color and if ever wants to rule out the possibility of hematemesis, then you will have to see the doctor or to send the vomitous material for lab test,i
For the given symptoms I would suggest to try Tab Omeprazole 40 mg with Domperidone 10 mg once in day and it has to be continued for five weeks, avoid taking spicy food, avoid taking coffee, alcohol, smoking prior to bed stay away from the stress hope this information helps.
