I'm glad to explain this to you. If there is another episode of fainting and black, tarry stools, it is possible that there is gastrointestinal bleeding. It is recommended to have a further detailed examination of the blood routine at the local hospital to see how anemia is developing, and to check the electrolytes to see how electrolyte disorders are developing. Based on the examination results, the condition will be diagnosed, and an additional treatment plan will be formulated. According to your description, the symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding have caused the recurrence of black, tarry stools and pale complexion.
