Answer 6

Yeah, go to the ER.  That's a pretty good sign of a GI bleed.  Get off the computer and go to the ER...now.

Answer 7

Quite possible that you may have a GI bleed.  The reason it would look like coffee grounds is because it is "old" blood as opposed to fresh blood.  It can be quite serious and can be caused by the medications you are on.  The lucky thing is, if you get to a doctor and get diagnosed right away, the effects are reversible.  They will, most likely, take you off the medications you are on right now or, if those meds are really needed, they will most likely give you a medication for your stomach and GI tract to block the effects of the nsaids on your system.  You do need to get into your doctor now.

Take care!
