My husband just went to the restroom and there was blood in his stool, mostly blood and very little poop. He has had this once before with no findings, but this time the blood was a lot more. He also felt like he had indigestion before going to the bathroom and now the outer area of his anus feels raw and painful. What could be causing this and what should we do?

I feel a heaviness in my upper chest, shortness of breath, an irregular heartbeat, and phlegm in my throat that won't come up. My sinuses feel clogged, and I've been taking Mucinex for 4 days without improvement. I have no cough or fever. My family medical history includes high blood pressure and stroke. I'm 45 years old, don't smoke, and don't know my cholesterol level. The chest pain doesn't radiate, and I feel scared and panic that I might die when the pain comes on.
