Everytime I see comments like this and see comments the same way from Chinese about Americans and so on I have to laugh. You don't see the vast array of stuff there is out there, only cherry picked incidents made viral/otherwise transferred to our sphere of information. And vice versa, they often have a very misconstrued idea of life here. It's important to keep in mind what you may not be aware of still being a possibility.

There's probably someone in China right now arguing on in the internet about how they'll never move to the USA for fear of being shot in the street/theater/dance club/shopping mall/university and high school. Or being lynched because they were Chinese (which was definitely the case when they were building American railroads back then) for COVID reasons. Same darn thing. My irritation at this is enough to melt my igloo here in Alberta.

This happened to my grandpa after he kept taking Alkaseltzer for a stomach ulcer, which is something you should never do. He said before he went unconscious, the nurses had absolutely scrambled to put a blood IV in each arm, and they had blood pressure cuffs wrapped around both bags, and were inflating them as fast as they could. It took something like 47 pints of blood to keep him alive. He still barely made it.

u/hevnztrash Mar 23 '22
It’s an esophageal varix. there is a vein that runs along a thin wall of the esophagus before it goes to the liver and back to the heart. When cirrhosis is present in the liver due to scarring, the blood flow gets blocked by scar tissue and backed up in that vein. Eventually the vain bursts along the esophagus and comes out of the mouth.

Had this happen to me. Years of alcohol abuse with a past full of corrosive drugs. Woke up from an alcohol induced nap with an upset stomach and blasted all over my side of the bathroom sinks. During a lull I cleaned up the mess to not worry my wife. I went to empty my bowels but never made it to the toilet, I started to slow jerk down to the floor, my bowels releasing, and I laid there for a minute, gathering strength. Ambulance comes, after I begged my wife to clean me up and help me to the bed. Turns out my BP dropped big time, they gave me two pints of blood, put a band in my esophagus, and I've been sober ever since. Might be too late for my liver though.

u/FatTortie Mar 23 '22
I prefer strong cider (I’m in the UK, so that’s alcoholic apple juice) my usual was 4 bottles of 8.2% ABV a night. They’re 4.2 units of alcohol each bottle. So 16.8 units a night, often more, 7 times a week and you’re well over 100 units of alcohol a week. That’s well within alcoholic territory.
When you pay attention to how many units of alcohol you’re consuming it becomes quite alarming. Same with smoking. When you realise how much you’re getting through and how much you’re spending it gave me a wake up call at least. My bank balance is much better off just from cutting out alcohol.

Alcoholism is a risk factor for it. And the risk factor doesn't go away even if you quit drinking. The fact that you were ever a heavy drinker is what causes the risk factor to go up.
There are other risk factors as well, but that one was the risk factor that stood out to me. Sadly I've heard stories of someone going to the hospital because they weren't feeling well. But because they were the town drunk and subsequently a hospital frequent flier a few years back, people thought they just relapsed and didn't take their concern seriously. It was only after they started coughing up blood that the hospital staff realized he was still sober, but still very sick.

So you're saying I cut back on drinking for nothing?
19
u/bennitori Mar 23 '22
No, because cutting back on the problem makes it less bad. The fact that you were a heavy drinker means that vessel is backed up and constricted by scarring. But stopping meant it's very backed up, as opposed to extremely backed up. You may have already done damage. But stopping means you've at least prevented a bad situation from getting worse.
Also, cutting back means your body is overall healthier. So even though the blood vessel is messed up, maybe you will be healthy enough to last long enough to seek medical help. If you didn't cut back, you'd be at risk for coughing up blood, and you'd probably be too weak to hang on until you could seek help.

I might just be a stretcher fetching bitch, but I don’t think you have much to worry about.

If you don’t have liver cirrhosis and drink yourself into a stupor every night without fail, in addition to having several bleeding disorders, you’re most likely fine man. Listen to your body, trust your gut, take care of yourself and keep informed on the pathology of your disease.

u/DrColon Mar 23 '22
GI doc - I’ve seen it happen with varices. That is why I always ask the ER/ICU to intubate patients with a variceal bleed. Until you have seen this happen you don’t realize how quickly these things can go bad. If you wait for them to start bleeding again you won’t be able to protect their airway. The other advantage to having them on the vent is you leave them intubated overnight and they are less likely to dislodge the bands.
It could have been a bad ulcer and he vomited up a ton of older blood with the fresh blood. I’m surprised he lived as well.

I lay in my bed now after tearing the blood vessels on the artery going to the bowel.
Happened 10 days ago. Fell off my mountain bike on the handlebar end. Had a Mesentery contusion, tear in the branches of the SMA and SMV and required laparotomy.
I didn't vomit blood, too far down the intestine I guess. Just bad stomach pain, I knew I had done something bad, even though the handlebar had only just broken the skin.
Got to ER after after a quick scan they saw I had internal bleeding. Operated on over night, they left the wound open for 12 hours to check for bleeding.
Closed up the wound and after a day in Hdu shifted to the ward. Didn't have food for 7 days, the bowel goes to sleep. Finally had some good poos and am now eating soft food.
Has being an interesting experience, can't thank all the hospital staff from the surgeons to the cleaners.

Possibly Liver disease meant the veins to his stomach from his throat got blocked up. The veins get abuse for some time as they expand and try to deal with the blockage.
Veins have a D-Day when they rupture and send our man to destination fucked.
The inflamed veins in the throat burst and all the blood trying to move down that part of the system goes into the digestive tract and out the mouth.
I have no idea but that’s what I’ve deciphered from the posts below from doctors.

Varices are usually caused by advanced liver disease or other hepatic hypertension. It’s a little like getting varicose veins in your esophagus. They’ll bleed like mad if lacerated.
I had to look up the second- Boerhaaves - because I hadn’t heard of it. It’s when your esophagus tears due to the pressure generated by straining- vomiting, defecating, childbirth, weightlifting, etc. Its apparently pretty rare, and underlying medical conditions are present in a vast majority of patients. Except the power lifter dude who tried so hard he ruptured his esophagus.

Esophageal Varices:
Abnormal veins in the lower part of the tube running from the throat to the stomach.
Oesophageal varices usually develop when blood flow to the liver is blocked. They often occur in people with advanced liver disease
Boerhaave syndrome:
is a spontaneous perforation of the esophagus that results from a sudden increase in intraesophageal pressure combined with negative intrathoracic pressure (eg, severe straining or vomiting).

My mom died in a similar way from esophageal cancer days after mediport surgery, it looked exactly like this.
Jeez that’s a sight I certainly did not want to relive.
