What Does Black Stool When Under Stress Indicate?

default
Posted on Wed, 3 Jun 2015
Question: Last night I had black, tarry stool. Again this morning. I've been under a lot of stress. I was taking Aleve and Ibuproin for three days, not eating much and drinking alcohol. Today, I have only had water and took Precacid. Will the irritation stp bleeding if I take no more Aleve or ibuprofen and eat bland food?

Typo. I took a Prevacid an hour ago to help cam the irritation. I had this happen five years ago but then it was red blood.

Yesterday I took an Aleve and ate practically nothing and had the black tarry stool about six last night and again this morning. I have no pain.

I was also taking Advil PM every night but that had not bothered me

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and I think your case is emergency.

An immediate evaluation is advised together with immediate testing colonoscoy and upper endoscopy to determine the site and cause of bleeding.

Please go to ER as soon as possible if you cannot schedule an immediate appointment with gastroenterologist.

Meanwhile, I advise to stop taking aleve and alcohol.

Wish fast recovery!
