black colour result - #21607

Om

I am really worried about these recent test results, they showed a black colour result in my stool, and I don't know what to make of it. Just last week, I started noticing that my bowel movements were dark, like really dark, and initially I thought it was just something I ate, maybe too much iron or black beans or whatever, but then the black colour result kept happening. I’ve been eating pretty normal, nothing too weird, but the black colour result is just freaking me out. I went to see my doctor, and she said it could be due to bleeding in the upper GI tract, but when she mentioned the black colour result, it sounded more serious and now I'm not sure what to think. I have had some occasional stomach pains lately, like really mild, but I figured they were just from stress or something, not sure if they relate to this black colour result? Has anyone had the same issues? What could be the scary reasons behind this black colour result? How soon should I get further tests or should I just wait it out? Feeling a bit lost and anxious about this whole situation. Any advice would help.
