Internal bleeding happens inside your body when blood leaks from damaged vessels.
It's often hard to see but can be very serious.
Bleeding fast in the chest or belly is dangerous.
Get help right away because it can lead to shock or death.
You might feel lightheaded, weak, or have a fast heartbeat.
Your skin might look pale or feel cold.
Look for blood in vomit, poop, or urine.
Unexplained bruises can also be a sign.
Falls, car crashes, or hard hits are common causes.
High blood pressure or some diseases can cause it too.
Doctors check your heart rate and blood pressure.
They might use scans to find the bleeding.
Call for help immediately if you think you have it.
Treatment starts with fluids through a vein.
It might even require a blood transfusion.
Finding and stopping the bleeding is key.
Surgery is often needed to fix it.
