Brief Answer:
Are you drinking enough?
Detailed Answer:
HI,
Your pulse and blood pressure alongside the symptoms of dizziness and fatigue are typical of low blood pressure caused by dehydration. I will suggest that you drink enough water, at least 2liters a day and let's see whether these symptoms repeat themselves. How is the nature of your stool? Hard stools can always cause blood in stools from abrasions and are often associated with poor fluids intake.
Let me know how this unfolds as you increase your fluid intake. Please, kindly update in at most 48hours.
