Do I need to get checked out?

36 hours ago I was on a run when I started to feel very sick. I could walk about 1 minute before having it sit down. Eventually, I threw up a black tar like substance. The night before, I did have about 4 beers with dinner. One was a darker beer but the rest were light and I ate a full dinner and drank water.  Since then I have a very low appetitie, although I have Made myself  eat, and I haven’t had a bowel movement since then. I am very regular so this is odd for me. I also have some ache in my shoulders.  Do I need to see someone about this or can I wait?

I think you can wait.  Digestive issues happen even if it is not the norm.  If you get a fever or take a turn for the worse, then just call your doctor and ask if they want to see you.  Usually just waiting it out does the trick.  As someone that does dumb things digestively (eat a whole head of cooked cabbage in a day, eat a whole bag of caramels . . .  no joke, what was I thinking?)---  I've had some bad days with my digestive track and it rights itself.  Hang in there, you should be better soon.
