What Causes Black Color Stools?

Hello, for the last three days ism having black color stools, last year around this same time it happened to me ! I went to emergency and after a night there with blood tests and syrum given i was prescribed ran-pantoprazole. In few days all went back to normal. 2 weeks ago i had some pain head and neck so i took motrin and citramon alomst daily. Iam 49 years old male , healthy and in form, 219 lbs, on twn kinds of meds that i started 2 months ago for high blood pressure and cholestrol. Amlodipine&atorvastatin. Now can i take the same pantoprazole for my symptomp, or it is not to mix with any other pills *No pain , just feeling tired, worried about if the medication was the cause. I eat a regular balanced dight low in fat

Hi,
Having passing black stool with feeling of tiredness requires evaluation of your case.
There can be having gastritis or even gastric ulcer.
Chronic blod loss might cause anemia giving rise weakness and tiredness.
Consult gastroenterologist and get examined.
Ultra sound of abdomen and endoscopy will be helpful to come to diagnosis.
Meanwhile you can take Pantaprazole.
Take milk diet for few days.
Ok and take care.
