Blood in stool

Asked for Male, 22 Years

I am a person who takes acitrome tablet every day after my aortic valve transplantation surgery. I am in Bangalore now and weather over here is very cold and dry. I had to stop acitrome for 2 days because of nasal bleeding. I thought it was because of the dry weather. Nasal bleeding stopped within one day. But today morning there was a substantial amount of blood along with stool. Went to toilet three times as of now and blood has been coming. Not profusely bleeding but there is dark, clotted blood along with the stool. What might be the reason for this ?

If you are taking acitrome, you should check PT / INR periodically. If this test is elevated ,you will get spontaneous bleeding whereever possible. Then you suppose to stop this for time being or the dose should be reduced. Immediately meet your cardiac surgeon.
