Hello and welcome to HCM, Black colored urine can be due to presence of hemoglobinuria or presence of hemoglobin in urine or it can be due to an error of metabolism. Firstly, you need to get an urine examination done especially for the presence of hemoglobin in urine. The symptoms of tiredness, weakness, shortness of breath, dizziness and fainting spells are suggestive of anemia or low hemoglobin. Thus, you need to get complete hemogram done to assess the hemoglobin levels. The anemia or low hemoglobin can be due to loss of blood or hemoglobin in urine. Consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and prescription of relevant investigations for further work up.
Thanks and take care Dr Shailja Puri
