17 yo, sudden dark colored stool not black mixed with reg today, no pain , no weight loss, no symp should i still check up with pcp?

Check diet first: Are you taking food rich in iron? Are you taking Pepto- Bismol. They will both turn stool dark. If you are really bleeding internally you would probably be showing other symptoms.
