Hi

I was recently admitted to the hospital with internal bleeding, due to vomiting black coffee-like granules.  Whilst I was in the hospital, I was told I would probably have an endoscopy.  I was discharged after 2 nights, and still did not have an endoscopy, despite on a couple of occasions being prepared for this procedure.  The doctors regularly did blood pressure checks, and I had some blood tests, and all came back normal.

I still do not know what caused the bleeding (I was informed it was possible GI bleed), and I also experienced severe back pain for a couple of nights when I came out.  Fortunately these symptoms have gone away, today, however I do not think I have been referred as an urgent referral for the endoscopy, although I have been told to take twice the amount of omeprazole I normally take for two weeks My query is whether I should have had the endoscopy or would the medical staff been able to determine if I was suspectable to oesophagul cancer, from the blood tests being normal.   Should I be pushing to have an endoscopy as an urgent referral?
