You are wise to be cautious- I have stomach ulcers, and i was ignorantly taking aspirin, and ginko biloba, which is a thinner which can cause internsl,bleeding, and yep, it happened to me, in a convenience store bathroom-

when I came to, I was wedged between the toilet and the wall, blood and puke everywhere- I stumbled out of the bathroom where a cop was sitting in his car, I waved for them to come over and help, they jusy say there bewildered I guess, but fi naly walked over, said “holy cow, is that blood?” I said “yep, not sure what happened to me” (at the time I didn’t know what had happened or caused it) told the cop to check the bathroom, he came out looking sheepish and called the ambulance.

Anyway, long story short, doc said I was very lucky to have survived as I had lost a lot of blood- needed transfusion which I was reluctant to get, as I wasn’t thinking Right at the time.

Turns out that ginko and aspirin together, in folks susceptible to bleeding issues, which I didn’t know at the time that I was, is not a good combo- now u have to watch all meds, herbs, vitamins etc which can cause bleeding problems
