See your doctor: This is a problem that necessitates a face-to-face meeting with your doctor. This will allow him/her to examine you, ask specific questions. And possibly order tests to find out what's wrong and what to do to help you.

Dont delay!!: See a GI doctor or colon and rectal surgeon immediately. If you can't get an appointment in a day or two go to an emergency room. Have someone drive you if you are lightheaded or dizzy or feel faint.
