Ok, i have been sick to my stomach for the past four days. I have been dizzy, nauseas, stomach ache, and extremely tired. Today I went to the bathroom and my poop was completely black, tar like and it hurt extremely bad. What is wrong with me? Should i be worried?:

dark colored stool could be a sign on intestinal bleeding. With your other symptoms I would definitely suggest going to the doctors.

Go to the hospital. I don't know why people get on here and ask when they could possibly be bleeding out internally. GO TO THE HOSPITAL.

Tarry stools are a classic indicator of bleeding high up in the GI tract, especially from a stomach or duodenal ulcer. Yes, you should seek prompt medical attention. Preferably, bring a small stool sample or a section of stool stained toilet paper with you in a sealed jar or other container.
