What Causes Dizziness Along With Abdominal Discomfort?

I have had a discomfort in my upper stomach. At one point I was on medicine for Ulcers. lately I have been experiencing dark poop. about 5 days now. several times I have felt a bit of dizziness. it happens very randomly. some times I will be ok for a month, and then feel dizziness episodes for 2 or 3 days, each episode lasting only a few seconds. I had some blood work done to figure out if there were any signs in my blood but the results came back clean. what should I do?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

-dizziness
- upper abdomen pain
- dark stools.

Possible correlation with above symptoms that you may be having stomach ulcers which is chronic lead to blood loss then again blood loss lead to anemia lead to dizziness. But it may be individual problems. Use tablet pantoprazole before breakfast for one week. get stool for occult blood and for dizziness get evaluation for ECG , CT scan brain etc to rule out cardiac causes for dizziness. Use tablet Vertin thrice a day for five days. please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
