Yes, I believe that this can be a serious side effect from the Coumadin, if he is taking blood thinners.  He should be checking the INR with blood tests.  Tell your doctor of any bleeding.

I'm not a doctor, but they were giving me way too much Coumadin, and I had internal bleeding, blood in urine, blood in stools, profuse bleeding after a tiny cut, endless coughing and at night I would cough up blood.  I woke up one night and I thought that I had to vomit.  I didn't make to the toilet but I forced up blood and a foamy substance from my lungs.  Then, of course, I was anemic, low potassium and rapid heart pulse.  VERY scary.  And this was about two months after the hospital.
