Hi, At this age a Hemoglobin of 7.2 is significantly low and an associated symptom of black colored stool is indicative of internal gastric / colonic bleeding.
Any internal bleeds either due to an ulcer or bleeding vessels can slowly appear as black colored stools and this regular loss of blood leads to low Hemoglobin.
It’s a sincere advise to take this symptom sincerely and follow up with appropriate reports and a detailed history.
Next Steps
It must be understood that the ailment requires reaching the cause of bleeding and might require an Endoscopy. Kindly consult for further discussion and the necessary steps

Hi i have noted your concern
Please immediately seek a gastroenterologist opinion for proper treatment and management based on your symptoms its looking like Gastrointestinal bleed only
You may be advised for endoscopy or colonoscopy as well or may be asked for CT imaging
But 100% medical gastroenterologist opinion should be taken
Do not worry do not stress about this issue most likely it will be treatable and you will recover, so wish you speedy recovery, may you get well soon!
