Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Elevated BP, Persistent Pain In Lower Back And Black Spots In Stools?
I have had lower right back pain for several months and my bowel movements are normal color but have dark spots throughout. The last week I have been light headed and my blood pressure has been high. I know I should see a Dr. But just wanted an idea of what could be wrong.
* The high BP can be of concern with idiopathic cases, renal disorders or others
* The back pain lower part and black spots in stools can be related to occult bleeding in stool via gastric ulcer, malignancy colon or else.
However, a detailed physical examination, lab tests with colonoscopy are primary tools of evaluation in this case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
