See Dr: It may not be a serious problem but it definitely needs to be evaluated by Dr if not already done. A thorough history (including any meds taken-even aspirin/ibuprofen-alcohol consumption, family history) & physical exam plus a blood count & maybe stool test for hidden blood would be a good start.
