A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Highly anxious states can sometimes cause loose stools/diarrhea and stomach cramping. However, the presence of blood is usually not a symptom. It could be the blood came from a hemorrhoid or possibly from inflammation within the colon. The best answer is if it happens again ask your physician to further evaluate it or refer you to a GI physician for evaluation.
