Answers:
I am very sorry for your loss!. One of the ulcers he had could have ruptured causing him to bleed internally!. Even glancing at his chart and seeing a history such as this would lead me to do many tests, all of which could have pointed out the internal bleeding if it would have came from an existing ulcer!. The prevacid he was taking probably didn't cure it, just masked the symptoms!. As for the nose bleeds, it could have been anything from it being very dry, to having high blood pressure!. I would say most likely though, I've seen this before, that it was a ruptured ulcer somewhere in his GI track that caused him to bleed out!. As for the hemophiliac diagnosis, I'm not sure, the symptoms are right, but only tests could prove such a diagnosis!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
