One of our board members here asked for symptoms of bleeding. This seemed like a good place to post same.

...Abdominal pain or swelling
...Black stools (Note, if you're taking Iron, they'll always be black.)
...Blood in stools, urine, or vomit when coughing
...Blurred vision or bleeding eyes
...CHEST PAIN
...Confusion
...Dizziness or lightheadedness
...Nausea or vomiting
...Headache
...Joint stiffness, swelling (edema) or pain
...Fainting (syncope)
...Sudden weakness
...Shortness of breath
...Numbness or paralysis of arms, legs or face.
And, I will add some that Al had when he was recently hospitalized for internal bleeding.
...Extremely low blood pressure (his was 83/50)
...pale, almost white, coloring
...very low hemoglobin/hemocrit (often mistaken for anemia).
Hope this information is helpful.
Kind regards to all,
Blanche
