10 Internal Bleeding Symptoms
4. Dizziness
Dizziness is defined as the loss of balance and/or the feeling of being lightheaded. It is a subjective sensation that can show up suddenly and may cause a person to feel ill. It is important to try to sit down as soon as possible to prevent falls that could result in serious complications.
In the case of people with internal bleeding, dizziness might be a symptom related to the continuous blood loss that results in anemia. As the patient loses blood, the body struggles to deliver nutrients to the tissues. One of the most oxygen demanding organs in the body is the brain and if not enough nutrients get to the central nervous system, dizziness is one of the first symptoms to appear.
