A member asked:

Many possibilities: Stomach pain with black stools can be symptoms of a serious condition; usually from an ulcer or other cause of bleeding. Anyone with these symptoms should immediately see their family doctor, internist or gastroenterologist. If there is any lightheadedness or dizziness, then do not pass go and head directly to the emergency department of your hospital. Not something to wait on.

See: His doctor for a thorough examination. Make sure your partner tells everything related to the illness to his doctor; no secrets and be honest for a proper evaluation.
