Dad's in the hospital

I just got a call from my mom. My dad came home from work today for lunch complaining about an upset stomach. When he went back to work, he was violently ill and started puking up blood. He lost so much blood that he passed out. An ambulance had to come take him to the hospital and he couldn't even sit up without passing out because his blood pressure was so low.

The cardiologist spent many hours testing him and it turns out the ticker is OK, but there is internal bleeding that they haven't been able to narrow down yet. He's on blood transfusion to get the pressure back up, then they're going to test him (tube down the throat, etc) overnight and diagnose what is wrong. I hope he's ok...

I love you, Dad. I wish I wasn't so far away.

Meds for arthritis and aspirin cause intestinal bleeding? On any meds?

I had a similar experience when a dr gave me VIOXX. ( not as severe though).

BEWARE!!! Meds can KILL!!! Read the papers that the druggist gives you!! ( it CAN save your life!! A drug called NALFON almost killed my dad 20 years ago. ( anti- inflamitorey drug), one of the warnings said, " May cause fatal bleeding". DUHHH!!! Warning sign here!!! I wish you and him the best!! My Dad was my best friend, and I lost him 1-16-2005.
I still have a hard time visiting the home place, cause he's not there!

Man I am sorry to hear about your dad. I dunno if I can conclude about the Ulcer (maybe a severe kind???)...
Hope it doesn't get passed an Ulcer... and your dad gets well very soon.

Ulcer

He has a bleeding ulcer and maybe more than one. I know by first hand experience. Another contributor can be a condition in the esophagus called "Barretts Esophagus" caused by years of reflux disease. Sorry to hear it and hope he responds to treatment. Aspirin can definitely aggravate the condition even if it does not cause it.

Ya, the GI guy figures it's multiple bleeding ulcers. Good times. It's still kinda major, but at least it's not life-threatening as far as I know.

It is definitely major and could have been life threatening if they didn't get some blood in him in a hurry. When your blood pressure barely registers and your veins are essentially empty of blood---you are in a bind. Just hope he has a good GI doctor. Maybe they will go in and take some pictures of the area--EsophagoGastroDuodenoscopy or something like that.

Yes bleeding ulcers can be deadly. I lost my favorite uncle to one or maybe several, he was only 44 years old. This was a while back and he would have martini's after work, eat rich foods etc ...

I hope your father gets out of there soon. I hope he begins to recover rapidly.

I hope he follows his doctors orders and the diet prescribed as well.

Best wishes.
