Hi and thank you for asking.

Stress may aggravate blood stools and weight loss but it can't be the cause.

This is why I strongly recommend to do the following examinations to find out what is causing your symptoms:
- Blood work
- Abdominal ultrasound
- Upper endoscopy
- Colonoscopy

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
