Had Bloody Nose, Blood In My Stool And Blacking Out. What Does The Finding Mean?

Hi..my name is Russ and I am a college student at Weber State University. About a week ago I kept blacking out and getting a bloody nose right afterwards. I was having joint pain in my knees and elbows as well. The blacking out and bloody noses have since stopped but now my oxygen level drops from 97% just resting to 75% after walking to class. It goes back to 97% fairly quickly but I know 75% is too low. I also have had blood in my stool. I have been to a doctor and they say that it is just something viral but I don't have a cold or anything like that...i just can't breath and I keep getting light headed after walking to the point I fell I will start blacking out again. I was wondering what you might think was wrong or what would be causing this.
