My peptic ulcer---Is it bleeding or coincidence?

I had blood in my stool one day, and it doesn't seem to still be happening still. My upper abdominal area has been hurting excruciatingly (SP) lately on and off, and it usually lasts for about 4 or 5 minutes per time. It's like a really intense burning pain and the only way to relieve it is to lie on my stomach and relax every muscle in my body. After a few minutes the pain goes away and it usually does this at least once or twice a day. Especially when I'm moving a lot...it gets worse. I asked if bleeding ulcers were considered an emergency and I have gotten great answers, now I'm just wondering if that is what it most likely is. I'm not a hospital type so Im trying to figure out if there is a real reason for me to go there. Thanks for all your serious answers!

it seems u r really reluctant to c a doc.. j/k. i think u shud get done Stool Occult Blood test, as u'll only see blood in stool wen it's bit high in quantity. u might b bleeding small amount, that u r unaware of. plus it can b cos of so many causes, though in ur case it's probably due to peptic ulcer only.. bleeding can b really dreadful.. n u need to control ur peptic ulcer now.. it also has many other complication than bleeding.. so please c a doc if u hvnt seen one yet.. n ya bleeding is an emergency, as all hv answered on ur previous post..
