What Causes Dizzy Spells Before A Bowel Movement And Blood In Stool?
Hi, for the past 5 months, every so often, I get dizzy spells about 5 or 10 min. before I have a bowl movement, it doesn t happen ever time but about once a week or once in 2 week span. I had blood in my stool once about 3 months ago and now it happened today again. I booked a appointment with my doctor, but I cant see him until Monday. Is this something I should do something sooner about. Thank you.

Hello,
I think waiting until Monday is okay but you may be getting anemic from losing blood in your stool. You definitely need to see your doctor soon. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water because being somewhat dehydrated will only make things worse.
Good luck and I hope it is nothing serious
