Start with a: comprehensive medical evaluation to exclude underlying diseases causing fatigue: anemia, hypothyroidism, liver, kidney, heart disease, etc. Symptomatic treatment of the heartburn with antacids, avoidance of spicy foods, OTC H2 blockers or PPIs may help. The urgent BM sounds like Irritable Bowel and should respond to dietary fiber, fluids, exercise, stress reduction..a comprehensive approach:)
