I think it's well-known that prolonged, untreated sleep apnea will eventually create metabolism issues and cause symptoms of depression, anxiety, memory and cognitive deficits, possibly GERD, worsened pain if one also suffers from fibromyalgia; the list goes on and on.

However, I don't think anyone would say blood in the stool is a metabolism issue and my first impulse would not be to link bloody stool with sleep apnea. I think you need to discuss this with your doctor, apart from sleep apnea.

I am neither a nurse nor a doctor; this is my opinion only.
