Could this just be the Medrol?

Im on 200mg of Deprol-medrol (IM shots) and 320mg Medrol oral. I have been on medrol for a year now. This is for steroid dependent asthma. My question is..
1) I have been experiancing horrible stomach pain, waking up in the night with it, and not being able to eat. Im on Losec and have taken a whole bottle of stomach coating.
2) My stool is now a deep black color and has a wierd texture.
3) My BP is usually very high, 180/110 with 5 different meds, but dropped very low the last couple days (70/50)
Im sure this is all caused by the steroids but my question is if I should be concerned about it? Do I need to see my doctor (he is very far away and I have an appointment next tuesday) Could I wait until then? or do I need this adressed now?
Thanks for your help
