anything looking like coffee granules is digested blood. this would indicate you could be bleeding in your stomach. Call your surgeon IMMEDIATELY!!!!!

Yes, anything that resembles coffee grounds is old blood. You must get to the doctor asap!

Coughing up what looks like coffee granules is really digested blood. This most likely means that you have a GI bleed, like a bleeding ulcer . This happened to me 18 months ago; I had a bleeding ulcer. The treatment was special acid control medication and they did a blood test for hpylori, which is a bacteria that can cause ulcers. I tested negative, but had I tested positive, I would also have to had taken some antibiotics.

Please don't postpone a phone call to your doctor!

It stopped very quickly this time and i am able to drink Water and Soup so feeling much better thank you again as sometimes you just sit here and worry loads.
