Patients with bleeding ulcers may report passage of black tarry stools (melena), weakness, a sense of light-headedness or ay even pass out upon standing ( orthostatic hypotension or syncope ) and vomiting blood (hematemesis).[medicinenet.com]
Hypotension is a late finding as is a high fever. The abdominal findings are characteristically described as of board-like rigidity.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
