A 60-year-old male patient presented to the casualty with complaints of multiple episodes of bloody vomiting, burning epigastric pain, generalised weakness, giddiness, and passing black tarry stools for five days. The epigastric pain had an insidious onset, a burning character, was intermittent, non-radiating, aggravated after consuming spicy food, and relieved by taking some antacid medication. He also had nausea followed by multiple episodes of vomiting, containing fresh red blood, around 1-2 teaspoons in each vomit, with some reddish-black clots. He also had a past history of a burning sensation in the epigastrium for one year. He had no significant family history.
