Accepted Answer

See eye doctor: It is hard to say what is happening from the description, however eye pain associated with brain or back of head bleeding is not normal. If you have had recent trauma, change in vision, headache or flashes of light you should see your eye doctor to rule out serious causes if eye pain.

Question 5

i hit my head on a wall, really hard. my vision went white and when my vision returned an area above my eyebrow was bleeding profusely. the bottom of my left eye started flashing colours shortly after and currently i have a headache (back of head?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: I can't tell from your question when this occurred, but I would recommend that you see a doctor. You may need stitches for your forehead cut. You are also having symptoms of a possible concussion. For both of these things, it is important to have a full in-person evaluation, including more of a history and an examination.

Question 6

been having vaginal bleeding, uncontrolled muscle twitching, twitching of the left eye, and "lighting bolt" pain in left side of my mid back, ideas?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal bleeding...: ...probably is the most important of your symptoms. I doubt the others have anything to do with it. Any abnormal vaginal bleeding needs professional evaluation. There are too many possibilities and you don't provide enough information to guess at the cause: hormonal, pregnancy, infection (e.g. STDs), and others. Get it checked out and also ask the doctor abour your other symptoms. Good luck!

Question 7

a black eye from hit. bleed a bit from nose then stop. eye has small red on the white back on the side. mucus/saliva with small blood in mouth spit.er?

Accepted Answer

Need an eye exam. : It's prudent that you get examined by an ophthalmologist as soon as possible. The small red spot that you are describing sounds like a sub conjunctival hemorrhage which is due to a blood vessel that was damaged under the white membrane of the eye.  In itself it's not dangerous but trauma to the eye may be associated with glaucoma, retinal tear, blood in the anterior chamber known as hyphema, etc.

Question 8

what are the symptoms of brain bleeding? are headaches, ringing ears, red eye related? (i was in a car accident didn't hit my head,just back&forth)

Accepted Answer

Closed head injury: To get brain bleeding from a car accident just by accelerate-decelerate motion of the head is possible if the person is on anticoagulant (blood thinner) and have a brain that is less then healthy, such as in cerebral atrophy.  Usual sypmtoms are stiff neck and severe headaches, and confusion.  I mean severe!  There maybe bleeding from the ear.  But ringing and red eye not so clearly related.

Question 9

been taking bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) for 10days. now have black bleeding sores in my mouth. hives . went to urgent care gave me steroid shot. now i noticed some red sore in my eye. should i go back to doctor of will this go away?

Accepted Answer

Go back : I would go back to your doctor. My concern would be stevens-johnson syndrome. It is a rare diagnosis, though has been correlated with the use of bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim).

Question 10
