Brain hemorrhage can cause various disorders, usually severe because the brain is the center of control of all functions of the human body. Symptoms vary, depending on which part of the brain is affected and its severity. Usually people who experience it will experience disturbance of consciousness.



People whose consciousness is not perfectly aware cannot be given food directly by mouth because they can choke. Food or fluids can enter the lungs and can cause shortness of breath, infection and even death. Brain hemorrhage can also cause swallowing muscles. Usually when treatment will be given liquid nutrition through the hose, and nutrition has been adjusted to age, weight and other disorders that require adjustments to nutritional needs. Usually an IV will be given as an addition to fluids, electrolytes, minerals and as a way to put drugs.



The sound that arises may be the sound of motion of the digestive tract, or it could be because in the digestive tract there is a pile of air, usually people who lie down long and do not move prone to bloating. If there are no other complaints about this and food can enter according to instructions without vomiting up, you don't need to worry.



Brain hemorrhage is a severe disorder, especially if it is suffered by the elderly. Even so keep positive thinking and follow the instructions of the treating doctor because of course he is most aware of the condition of your relatives.

Regards, i am 26 years old and have the same problems, i have had all the testing, let me know what you hear.thanks! that sounds rough, i am sorry you aren't feeling well. my advice is just go to a different hospital to get a different view on your situation. please don't hold off on it, this problem really needs to be taken care of. i'm on otho tricycline high and for the first 2 or 3 weeks i got real sick. i felt like i couldn't eat or i would throw it up. and i just felt generally horrible. it'll pass though in a week or so. i've been on it for close to 3 years now. and i haven't had problems since those first 3 weeks were over. i don't know if you know this or not, but after about 5 years of taking one type of birth control, your doctor will change your prescription because after a while your body doesn't respond to the hormones any more and the bc becomes useless. they'll change your prescription after around 5 years and you might get sick again while your body is getting used to the new hormones. 


hope i could help

oh, i got headaches too Hello Aftonilman,



  

Thank you for the question.











Abnormal discharge from the ear, accompanied by ears such as stuffiness, dizziness, and pain are indeed typical of inflamed ears. Inflammation of the ear can occur only in the external ear (otitis externa), or it can also extend to the middle ear (otitis media). Depending on the location and severity of the inflammation, this condition can be treated differently, there is enough to be given medication, extracted earwax, or in more severe cases, surgery can also be done (for example if inflammation causes the eardrum to tear or the mastoid bone becomes infected) .



  

If your condition has previously been checked by a doctor, given medicine, but it does not improve, we recommend that you check yourself again to the doctor or ENT doctor. If the ENT doctor is on leave, the general practitioner is actually competent in handling ear problems as you experience them. Not only that, so that complaints get better faster, you also need to do the following steps:







Do not put anything in the ear, including water, cotton bud, wire  

Rest and drink more water  

Stay away from substances that might make you allergic  

Don't swim, dive or go to the highlands yet



Hope this helps ... i have been in your shoes & am sorry to say it hasn't gotten better but... what i will tell you is don't waste time. it sounds like you are ahead of the game at least unlike myself. go get that referral to see a neuro asap - no matter what it is believe me it's better to no because my bosy is still trying to fight the unknown. i too, had a total hysterectomy (11/04) except i was exposed to dirty elevator hydraulic fluid which was on the instruments used internally/externally on me during my surgery. since these surgery my body has fallen apart.i no it's a different situation but you sound just like me about work and how you don't have time to be sick. that's more the reason to get it all taken care of now. i never even had one headache until the hysterectomy, then came the infections all over, flu-like symptoms, joint pain, fatigue, tingling in the hands, burry vision, numbness  then came in 2007 (although they said it was missed on the 2005 mri) brain lesions. apparently i had a few in 2005 that they wrote off as being sinus & miragranes, but then they got a little bigger & spread to different areas. at first with the symptoms & brain lesions they were sure it was ms but the spinal tap & mri on my spine showed no lesions so they were unsure. i was treated with a week of iv steriods because the pain & symptoms were so severe though. depending on the weather my symptoms came & went. i finally began seeing doctors at unc only & at john hopkins in maryland. i was hospitalized for the first time in july due to seizures, which i have never had before. i am currently trying to get the right doctor, medicine, diagnosis for that. so ... this is so much more then u wanted to no but no-one seemed to be proving u with any feedback either so i think i would try.go do what you need to do, please! t brief answer: its probably the heart detailed answer: hello and welcome in hcm i can understand your concern according to the history you explain its not osteoporosis causing this pain. there are three organs that you have to control . first the heart with the following tests: repeat ecg, and the... i've had depression since childhood. but when i am feeling mentally well and fibro kicks in, it usually brings me back into depression. you have an older dog. arthritis was a reasonable first diagnosis. your vet did the right thing by going with the most likely diagnosis and conservative treatment. 

since the arthritis meds have not helped, that means there may be something else going on. 

you need to make another appointment with your vet and take your dog back. this time, your vet may want to do more expensive testing such as blood work or x rays. 

since dogs can't talk and tell us what is going on with them, sometimes a condition has to be diagnosed by process of elimination. a good vet will start with the most common conditions and be mindful of your budget. it sounds like you have a good vet. you've given the pain meds time to work and are seeing no improvement. that means, you need to go back and be prepared to pay for more expensive testing. 

a couple of weeks ago i took my 12.5 year old boy to the vet because he was favoring his back leg. i figured it was arthritis and best to check it out. the vet agreed and we put him on anti-inflammatory medication. after 4 days on the meds, he was not better and was even worse, feeling lethargic. i took him back and the vet suggested blood work. based on the blood work at that visit, the vet recommended an abdominal x-ray. when that was done, it was determined he had end stage cancer and his body was failing. i don't tell you this to scare you. but merely to illustrate how a good vet works. the first vet visit cost me $24 office visit. the second $245. had it just been arthritis, there was no need to incur the blood work and xray when an office visit and a course of meds would have solved the problem. when that did not work, we knew we needed to look deeper and do additional testing.
