10 Ruptured Spleen Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #3: Lightheadedness
Our brain needs a lot of oxygen if it is to work properly. This oxygen is supplied to the brain via the blood and we need a constant flow of fresh blood to the brain so it gets what it needs. If this flow of blood is affected then it can affect the brain’s ability to function properly.
A ruptured spleen can cause significant internal bleeding, which will affect how much blood the brain receives. If the brain is receiving less blood then it is also receiving less oxygen. This can affect the brain’s ability to function, causing us to become lightheaded.
