I've been dealing with black and bloody stools with mucus for about 10 days now, and it's really worrying me. I also get this dull pain in the middle of my stomach after meals and usually see the blood in my stool 2 to 3 hours after eating. I'm having 3 to 4 bowel movements a day with blood and mucus, and it's exhausting. Besides that, I feel really full, weak, and tired all the time, and even breathing seems a bit harder. I've already seen a doctor who prescribed me Enteroquinol and Revkzole, but it's been four days and there's no relief. Could this be something serious? Should I consider getting a second opinion, or maybe ask for more tests?

I'm dealing with a headache on the right side, plus I've got this awful acidity and gas. To make matters worse, I threw up last night. I tried some ajwain churans, and I've been taking Ocid and medigas, but my headache just isn't easing up much. I do yoga every morning, which helps a little, but the headache is still there. Can you suggest anything I can do to feel better?
