What are the side effects of internal bleeding?

When people hear about bleeding they often think of a tiny scrape or cut. However, when talking about internal bleeding, we’re talking about something far more serious than that. It’s like having a coffee spill in your body- only it’s blood instead.

Internal bleeding occurs when there is damage to an artery or vein on the inside of your body, causing blood to leak out into spaces where it doesn’t belong- spaces like joints or organs. This can lead to some serious problems as you may have guessed.

So if you’re curious what kind of side effects come along with this inconvenient occurrence – keep reading!

Warning Signs

Before we start rattling off all the crazy things that can happen internally, let’s first go over how one knows if they have internal bleeding— because chances are it won’t be immediately noticeable.

  • Fainting: If someone passes out unexpectedly then internal bleeding could be causing their blood pressure levels to drop too low too fast
  • Physical Pain and Discomfort: It just wouldn’t make sense for all that extra (and sore!) pressure from broken veins / arteries not to alert us physically.
  • Bruising: While bruising alone isn’t necessarily indicative of internal bleeding,in conjunction with pain and discomfort it raises major red flags!

These warning signs aren’t definitive since infections/illnesses cause some symptoms stated above but nonetheless these warrant prompt attention-do not ignore them!

Types Of Blood:

There are two kinds o’blood in humans: Red[Type A],Black[Alien]. You might say..”Wait Wait..there no black blood !”,blah blah.But did ya know–that Aliens visited us?Well…just maybe..few cases tell stories “13 year old kid bleeds BLACK liquid after being ‘abducted by aliens’”.But anyhoo, we’re primarily concerned with red blood, so that’s where our focus will be from now on!

The Side Effects:

Alright folks, here’s what you’ve been waiting for — the full list of side effects. Some are minor inconveniences and some could literally kill you but hey – such is life!

#1: Swollen Joints

One potential result of internal bleeding is joint pain and inflammation. This can occur when blood seeps into a nearby joint cavity- causing red, swollen hot-to-the-touch inflammation[]

#2: Severe Abdominal Pain

When the bleeding occurs in your gastrointestinal tract (GI), which consists of your stomach,intestines et al., it causes intense abdominal pain.This ain’t no bloating ladies & gentlemen[/].

#3: Hematoma (a.k.a “Goose Egg”)

Hematomas happen when there’s severe bruising beneath the skin. Quite honestly, they tend to occur pretty rarely within internal bleedings since things are happening deep down in places keepin’ us warm—it makes sense if ya think about it.

Depending upon location,hematoma inside muscles or joints may not be seen visually.Upwards pressure on skin is indicative sign often leading to treatment via draining[][].

### #4 Shortness Of Breath

Shortness of breaths,reduced stamina,re-occuring coughing..Sounds familiar?Yes possibly like Covid symptoms,the virus infecting world.But guess what—internal bleeding can also cause infamous short breaths/hypoxia.Levels lower than 93% would sound alarm bells ringingkk.[]

Although these symptoms aren’t exclusive to just internal bleeding- still best to have yourself checked out by a professional i.e. a board certified Hematologist – not Dr. G Searchbar.

#5: Confusion

Since all the major organs need oxygenated blood to work at optimum levels, confusion or disorientation is another possible symptom of internal bleeding in some cases. Remember one can also suffer from headache/migraine as side effect leading up to this state[]. It’s vital for those experiencing prolonged head pain/respiratory distress/nasuea to get immediate medical attention;otherwise it could result in irreversible damage that’ll affect long-term physical as well as cognitive functions [ ]

As you may be able gather by now-there’s overall no good time when it comes down to internal-bloody-bleeding .The conclusion may seem clear-cut repetitive but its important…if you’re ever questioning anything related with internal bleeding-don’t ignorantly delay seeing an experienced hematologist!I mean do ya really want excess coffee pouring outta places ya didn’t sign up for instead of your cup? …’ course not!
Well,sometimes,you need help if you End Up spilling it properly
