ASAP: Black stools can be a sign of internal bleeding, and the fatigue may be a symptom of anemia resulting from the blood loss. This is something that should be evaluated right away.

Get eval now: This is suspicious of a GI bleed that is causing symptomatic anemia. Really need to get tested for anemia and get tested for GI bleed before considering benign options.
