Medical Video: 10 Warning Signs Your Heart Isn't Working Properly
When you are injured, there are two possibilities of bleeding that occur: external bleeding or internal bleeding (internal bleeding). If you have external bleeding, you can see the wound yourself, unlike the story with internal bleeding. This condition will not be seen because it is covered by the skin. You will be very difficult to detect it, not even knowing it until various symptoms appear as a signal to the body to tell this.
Various symptoms of internal bleeding
When certain organs suffer damage from injury or trauma and experience bleeding, you will experience various symptoms. Usually symptoms will appear immediately or some time after an injury, trauma, or damage to a particular body part. Here are some common symptoms to watch out for when you experience bleeding in:
1. Kliyengan and limp
When you lose a lot of blood, the effect you will feel is the head kliyenganor dizzy. In addition, you will also feel weak. This condition usually depends on how much blood is lost.
If you only lose a little blood then you will usually feel dizzy when trying to get up from a sitting or bed to stand which is often called orthostatic hypotension.
2. Pain in certain parts
Pain is the most common symptom of internal bleeding because blood can irritate the tissue. Usually the pain does not always reflect the only part of the body that is injured. For example, if you experience bleeding in the stomach but the pain is precisely in the shoulder. Therefore, you need to look at the pain that often arises because the sign is there is a part of the body that has a problem.
3. Shortness of breath
The feeling of tightness or difficulty in breathing deeply can indicate the body is experiencing internal bleeding. Especially if you experience a feeling of tightness after experiencing a certain injury. The reason is, when the body loses blood, red blood cells and hemoglobin that are carried by the body to tissues including the heart and lungs become less. As a result, the oxygen supplied is small so that this can lead to shortness of breath.
In addition, this condition can also occur when blood that builds up in the stomach pushes it up the diaphragm, limiting the flow of air to the lungs.
4. Chest or shoulder pain
Pain in the chest or shoulder is also one of the symptoms to watch out for. Because the bleeding that flows towards the chest can cause chest pain and bleeding to the stomach can irritate the diaphragm which can cause shoulder pain. Chest pain can also occur when the body experiences internal bleeding anywhere due to a lack of oxygen sent to the heart's coronary arteries.
5. Tingling in the hands or feet
When losing blood, the body often limits circulation to the hands and feet and directs its flow to more vital parts of the body such as the heart and brain. As a result, the ends of the body such as hands and feet only get a little blood supply to finally react by showing it through tingling.
6. Impaired vision and nerves
Changes in vision that can occur due to internal bleeding are double vision (objects appear shaded). In addition, you will also experience various nerve problems that are characterized by weakness or numbness on one side of the body, severe headaches, or loss of coordination which is usually a sign of bleeding in the brain.
7. Nausea and vomiting
Nausea and vomiting can be a sign internal bleeding,especially when you experience bleeding in the digestive tract and also the brain. Usually, this condition can also appear as soon as you experience trauma or an injury that compresses the abdomen or hits the head.
8. Black stool
Black stool can indicate bleeding in the stomach or small intestine. Because the normal stool has a yellowish brown color. Therefore, you need to pay attention to the jelly color of the stool every time you defecate.
9. Exit blood
In some cases, bleeding in the organ is characterized by the release of blood from various openings in the body. Usually the parts that bleed if there is bleeding inside the mouth, nose (nose), ears, anus, vagina, and also the urethra.
The various symptoms that have been mentioned are usually common symptoms you experience internal bleeding. However, any particular body part that experiences bleeding will generally show a variety of different specific symptoms. In essence, if you begin to feel some symptoms as discussed above, especially after an injury or trauma, immediately consult a doctor for further examination.
