Im 55yrs., african american male, don't smoke don't drink ,but my blood pressure is 134/90, i have blood in my stool, what could be the cause of it?

Needs evaluation: The amount of blood, or symptoms of dizziness, shortness of breath, or passing out, will suggest how urgent this is. However, the blood pressure seems OK, actually, slightly high, and probably unrelated to the blood in stool. The blood in stool requires evaluation by your doctor. It may be time for colon cancer screening, if not already done. Call 911 if symptoms develop or worsening blood.
