I was recently hopsitalized for intraabdominal bleeding, unknown origin. Hemoglobin levels got down to 9.7 but stablized at 10.5 when I was released. Last blood count is 11.8. I have seen my GP, who's done EKG - normal, X-ray (as I"m experiencing low back pain on the right side), I had catscans done at the hopsital that confirmed the blood in my stomach, scan was done of my Chest - Normal.
I'm scheduled to see the surgeon for follow up, I wasn't operated on, but we still don't know what caused the bleeding now I"m expeirencing these other sypmtoms.
Since the trauma of the abdominal bleeding that started (12/27/09) I was hopsitalized 12/28-12/30, and released, but started having some shortness of breath...or heaviness in the chest and now the swelling in the legs that started yesterday....
I just really need to find some resolution to this, and I'm not getting any answers from any fo the Physicians at this point and need to see if I need to find someone new who can help me find an answer.
