My niece has been hospitalized since yesterday because she was throwing up blood and she got 2 blood transfussions yesterday and one today. The doctor said she has no iron at all and she has been having trouble breathing so she is now getting oxygen. What can these symptoms mean? The doctors say they still dont know what it is but they are running blood tests.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She has hematemesis and severe bleeding leads to anemia, iron deficiency and difficulties in breathing. She should be given blood transfusion till exact diagnosis. Furthermore, she may have some liver pathology or portal hypertension. Furthermore, she needs endoscopy examination and routine blood test. Then take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
