What Causes Recurrent Dizziness, Breathlessness And Nausea?

My husband has had black stools for about a week now. Last night he fell due to dizziness and was very sweaty. Today he admitted to shortness of breath when walking about 10 ft. as well as dizziness when standing and periodic nausea. No vomiting though.

Hello! Black stools might signify bleeding from the food pipe / gastrointestinal tract . It can be the fall in his blood pressure due to bleeding that might have caused giddiness . As far his shortness of breath it might also be due to the blood loss causing low level oxygen supply to the body . Kindly consult a physician in person at the earliest for a complete evaluation and management .
