Suppose if you coughed and saw a few
drops of blood spots in sputum, what will you react then? And a pile of blood
spilt over there, you will be fearsome, is it or isn't?
Mostly we begin to console or to
make us idiot in this situation. Conceptualizing our self like that the
bleeding is mere unsolicited trickle makes us more lazy then -- exactly when a
few drops blend with the cough. We leave this incident for the future waiting
unless it repeats the coughing up blood (haemoptysis) again;
the ignoring of this may cause a big fallacy and may be endangering result to
our life.
The wait in such condition may prove
costly. If you eschewed from appearing to make your proper check up, we slip
the chance to go to out doctor taking it minor incident; we lose the chance to
catch the warning of chronic lungs diseases like TB or cancer.
I say that if a little oral blood
spits, let it understand a red bell and ensure your meet with the doctor on
this issue. You make sure your check-up on his consultation then. Mostly the
Doctor shall suggest you a few blood tests and chest X-rays.
If it keeps on bleeding, constantly
keeps; then the condition is emergency for you. you must leave your all work
and rushed to your doctor. You should not lose your time for domestic treatment
or for other remedy.
The endangering situation is then if
the quantity of bleeding in 24 hours has been up to half kilogram, the
condition becomes more endangering. This may claim your life so you must rush
to a reputed hospital’s ICU. During the bleed oozing blood may enter into
another breathing lung vein which may cause a panic when other lung of body
shall stop working. You must be aware of what do and what don’t? If you bleed
1. Ensuring the colour of
blood – is crimson red, is brown or black? If you tell your doctor about the
blood colours, the doctor shall ensure the bleeding is from the stomach or from
the lungs. In the both conditions, the tests shall be different absolutely. The
blood from the lungs, mouth, gums and neck mostly be red; and unlike it, the
bleeding after mixing with the acid from abdomen become brown or black.
2. Ensure the blood is
with the vomiting or by the coughing. This happening's confirmation is
difficult task, but tries to rummage it again. Remember it that if we find a
few food particles with the blood, we shall admit it that the blood is by the
vomiting. The bleeding shall be count oozing from the stomach. Unlike it if the
blood looks blended with the cough, prima facie it shall be count oozing from
the lungs. Your aware notice of bleeding may help your doctor to diagnose your
ailment.
3. It is important to
tell your doctor about the blood quantity exactly. This shall help if you shoot
this scene by your mobile camera.
4. If you bleed you must
tell your doctor which type of discomforts you feel when the bleeding starts.
But when the panic is created after the bleeding; consequently we forget to
tell what discomforts we felt during the bleeding. Recall it and tell everything
what you have faced. If you felt chest pain after the bleeding, this may be the
symptoms of pulmonary pneumonia embolism. if it is bad smelt cough, sputum and
phlegm, the abscess in the lungs may cause this blood. The quantity and the
colour of phlegm and the smell – all thing must be noted and tell it to your
doctor.
5. There may be other causes.
Tell your doctor the chronic ailment because it may correlate you’re bleeding. If
you had been treated ever for the TB or ever treated for cancer or ever
bleeding for other reason, this may correlate with the blood came from.
6. Never meant the blood
in coughing is TB. There may be other causes apart from the lungs ailment. Even
this may be because of heart diseases.
7. Remember it that the
blood in coughing may be of different causes. After thorough test this may
result a simple ailment or it may be acute serious type of ailment. The disease
of bronchitis may bleed and the TB in lungs, cancer, pneumonia, the abscess in
lungs, and the valve in the heart disorder—all causes bleeding of serious
disease!
8. Whether the test can
determine about the blood from which rupture it has leaked and which type of
ailment is? it is not always possible. Medical science has its limits. In spite
of the entire test, let it understand that the 30% of the cases remain
undetectable of the body spot that the blood would have leaked from which hemorrhage,
and which disease had downed you? This is not the limit to deem the doctor
idiot.
9. Do you know that such
bleeding may be sign of kidneys ailment? Yes, the collagen disorder related
diseases SLE which affect simultaneously the joints, skin, hair and kidneys –
this may cause the bleeding!
The
whole talks conclude on the two things to let you learn. First, the bleeding
may have many causes and second, if the doctor suggests you go for many tests,
follow it immediately. The kidney test, the costly blood test, the citi scan of
chest, the eco-cardiograph of heart – all may include. All these are not the
idle test. Every doctor is not dishonest. These entire tests shall help to
confirm the disease. The oral bleeding may be a warning of a serious internal
disease. The warning must not be ignored
