See doctor: dark or black stool coupled with your symptoms suggests the possibility of blood loss. You should see your doctor soon

Not pregnant: Dark stool and light headness and nausea could indicate upper Gi symptoms like Gastric ulcer. Suggest evaluation including checking stool for blood and CBC
