What should I do if I have a stroke followed by gastrointestinal bleeding?

  The incidence of combined gastrointestinal bleeding in stroke patients is very high, especially in patients with cerebral hemorrhage, which can manifest as vomiting blood and tarry stools, accompanied by rapid pulse, cold sweat and pallor; when the bleeding volume is large, there can be a drop in blood pressure and deepening of impaired consciousness. If a patient has gastrointestinal bleeding, he should focus on the following aspects: (1) Observe the bleeding closely and record the time and amount of bleeding: gastrointestinal bleeding mainly manifests as vomiting blood and black stool, and the amount and time of vomitus and black stool should be recorded.  (2) Fasting or less food, you can rinse the stomach with appropriate amount of ice saline or ice milk, and give appropriate hemostatic drugs through the gastric tube.  (3) Closely observe the patient’s blood pressure, pulse rate, consciousness and general condition.  (4) Follow the medical advice to give hemostasis, blood transfusion and other life-saving measures.
