Go to the ER: Bright red blood in the stool can be from several benign causes, such as blood vessel abnormality, diverticulosis, a polyp or hemorrhoids, or from more serious reasons, such as a colorectal malignancy. But if you passed a large volume enough to make you light headed, please go to the er to be checked out, including blood work and observation. You may need to be admitted and have a GI doc see you.
