Acid Indigestion: Upper abdominal pain associated with heartburn and black stools is a serious condition that can identify benign and malignant causes depending on your age. Please seek a gastroenterologist or surgeon for a thorough exam and endoscopy. Stomach ulcers can progress to rapid hemorrhage and / or perforation. Stomach tumors may behave the same way. Get seen quick.
