my husband is alcohol dependent he is in and out of hospital. He has been hospital recently he was diagnosed with Mallory Weiss tear.

He has other underlying issues copd, vascular issues.

He has been told several times it maybe too late next time.

The longest he has stopped drink alcohol is 18mths about 10 years ago.

I am on egg shells worried sick about where all of this is going to end.

Does anyone else have any experience of having Mallory tear
