Bleeding that happens within your body is called internal bleeding. Any form of internal bleeding is cause for serious concern. When you suffer an external injury it is easy to pinpoint the damage visually and address the cause. Internal bleeding, on the other hand, can often be felt but is difficult to pinpoint. It can be caused by external trauma, organ damage, or even due to a blood disorder. Sometimes internal bleeding can be a sign of a more serious condition that requires immediate attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no cases of internal bleeding that develop without an underlying issue in the body. Understanding some of the most frequent symptoms of internal bleeding is the best way to seek help before it becomes life-threatening. If for any reason, you or someone you know developing symptoms of internal bleeding, seek medical attention as soon as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the most common internal bleeding symptoms to look out for are listed below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Dizziness & Passing Out<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dizziness <\/a>is an assortment of sensations that leads a person to feel weak, unbalanced, and faint. In many instances, a person will feel as if they are spinning or that the world is spinning around them. This feeling of spinning is called vertigo. Dizziness is one of the most common causes of adult doctor visits. A person who is dizzy often most likely has an underlying condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cause of dizziness will dictate the treatment required to remedy the feeling. In most instances, becoming dizzy is not the result of a life-threatening condition. There are times where dizziness can signal something more serious such as internal bleeding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not all cases of internal bleeding have a clear cause which can make it hard to link a person\u2019s dizziness with internal bleeding. If enough internal blood loss occurs, it can cause a person to become lightheaded and subsequently pass out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. Low Blood Pressure<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Extreme changes in blood pressure can be harmful to a person\u2019s health. High blood pressure<\/a> is a common problem all over the world. However low blood pressure is equally dangerous. There are many reasons a person can have low blood pressure such as a side effect of a medication or a genetic disorder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low blood pressure, also called hypotension, can also occur as a result of internal bleeding. When a person\u2019s blood pressure is too low, they can become dizzy or even lose consciousness. If low blood pressure is not corrected, it can be life-threatening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your heart needs to maintain a certain about of pressure in order to properly circulated blood to your vital organs and other body parts. When a person lacks the proper amount of pressure, the brain, heart and other vital systems will begin to fail. Internal bleeding is a major cause of low blood pressure, so it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3. Numbness<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In most cases, numbness is caused by damage to the nerves. Numbness <\/a>can also be caused by nerve compression or irritation. When numbness occurs, it generally affects one branch of nerves but it is also common for several nerve branches to be affected. Certain diseases such as diabetes can also affect the long nerves in your body which can cause numbness in the legs and feet. Numbness most often will target the nerves along one side of the body but this symptom alone is not always a cause for serious concern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internal bleeding, however, can cause numbness in several areas of the body. The numbness caused by internal bleeding tends to be localized on one side of the body, generally the opposite side of where the internal bleeding is located. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any form of internal bleeding requires immediate medical attention. Speaking with a medical professional about all of your symptoms will help them to locate the bleeding and formulate a treatment plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4. Nausea & Vomiting<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the most common symptoms of internal bleeding is the feeling of nausea <\/a>which is also often paired with vomiting. Nausea may be a result of the severity of pain the body is experiencing, or it can be caused by the location of the internal bleeding. When internal bleeding occurs in the brain or in the digestive tract, nausea is often present. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vomiting is also common in those who are suffering from internal bleeding. It can be caused by pain alone or a mixture of pain and the location of the bleeding. Just like with nausea, internal bleeding in the digestive tract or the brain will often lead to vomiting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many causes of internal bleeding, and not all of them are readily apparent. Internal bleeding caused by internal injuries such as organ rupture, organ pleading or other trauma will need surgical correction to remedy the injury and stop the bleeding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

5. Shortness of Breath<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lung conditions and heart conditions are the main causes of shortness of breath. Both your heart and your lungs are needed to get oxygen into your tissues and remove carbon dioxide<\/a> from your bloodstream. Anytime there is a problem with your breathing, that is a clear signal that there is an issue with one or both of those systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chronic shortness of breath can have any number of causes such as trauma or disease. Acute shortness of breath, on the other hand, has a limited list of causes. One serious cause of shortness of breath is internal breathing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you have an injury or an illness that causes bleeding inside of your body, it can affect the way your heart functions. If a person\u2019s heart is not able to get enough blood to the rest of the body, or if it is unable to process out the carbon dioxide, it can result in shortness of breath. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6. Acute Visual Problems<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Blurred vision<\/a>, tunnel vision or double vision can occur when a person is suffering from internal bleeding. Blurred vision is when the edges of everything seem to be out of focus. The tunnel vision is when images can only be viewed within a very narrow scope. Double vision is where a person sees two of every image, often side by side or on top of each other. These acute visual problems caused by internal bleeding result in a lack of balance, nausea, or even vomiting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only way to treat vision problems caused by internal bleeding is to stop the loss of blood and restore proper blood pressure. Internal bleeding effects vision due to blood loss in the brain, or due to actual trauma to the eye that causes bleeding inside the ocular cavity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internal bleeding inside the brain can also result in vision problems or impairment. In most cases, this is a temporary symptom that goes away once the bleeding has stopped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

7. Severe Weakness <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Internal bleeding<\/a> is extremely dangerous because the cause and bleeding itself is not visible. Only minor cases, such as those that deal with blood vessels near the skin, can be left untreated. All other cases need medical attention immediately to prevent death. Internal bleeding has several symptoms, one of which is a weakness on one side of the body and general severe weakness overall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even small instances of internal bleeding become life-threatening in a relatively short amount of time. Depending on the location of the internal bleeding, a person may experience general weakness over their whole body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When there is internal bleeding in the head or brain, it is common to feel weakness over one side of the body. Internal bleeding in the legs can also cause weakness in one leg or both. Numbness is often paired with weakness from internal bleeding, but not always. Without treatment, it is possible to die from internal bleeding in a little as six hours. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

8. Chest Pain <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Internal bleeding is one of the biggest risks involved in any form of trauma. Anytime a person has experienced extra trauma that results in chest pain, shortness of breath or vision problems should be checked for internal bleeding. There are instances where light trauma results in internal bleeding that has a delayed onset of symptoms. One of the most notable symptoms being chest pain. In very rare cases internal bleeding may stop on its own, but in most cases, surgery is needed to repair the problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chest pain<\/a> caused by internal bleeding can be caused by the injury itself, or due to the heart working overtime to keep blood flowing despite the internal injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internal bleeding occurs where there is damage to some part of the body or an organ that allows blood to leak away from the circulatory system. When this happens, not only does the heart not get enough blood to function properly, your body is also deprived of oxygen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
