Guest guest Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 hi Kay lots coughing can cause small breaks in lung blood vessels apparently, I think I've had slow bleed for quite long time, but tomato soup bleed for 2+ hrs then some more wasn't so easy to be relaxed about. They did stop of own accord I've noticed lots little sores all over me since. Part of Portacath (also PICC) is salne flush / heparin (prevent clotting) are part of keeping the line 'patent'. Maybe my blood is a bit thin anyway, so wit heparin tend to bleed easily? did scare me, only time that amt blood had pneumonia, didn't fancy a repeat. is getting daylight, I must have some sleep! hugs, joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I agree that heparin might cause easy bleeding, but your doctors might have an idea of what causes this, too. Let us know what they say. And for Peet's sake, get to bed!
