Sir, luks like u have a upper gi bleed, which is causing black stools, you must meet an gastroentrologist an get a ogd done, this will show if ter is any bleed,do not delay an donot eat anything heavy or drink it can complicate, try to get a cbc and lft done before meeting an they will ask you to get it done but do not delay.
