Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Black tarry stool usually indicate serious blood loss through digestive tract. Most common reason is peptic ulcer which is bleeding. However large intestine tumor (in the first part of colon) can also give tarry like stools. Diarrhea can be also caused by both mentioned conditions.
Legs swelling can be caused by heart insufficiency, veins disease, kidney disease and many more. As you have obesity and lungs disease, heart issue seems to be the most probable reason.
I suggest you to:
- visit gastrologist and have gastrocsopy and colonoscopy
- visit cardiologist for full heart diagnostics
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
