What Causes Headache With Nosebleed As He Has Metal Plates In Head?
My partner suffers from Steven Johnson syndrome due to an accident back in 2004 he has metal plates in his head he recently has felt as if the metal plates are cracked and moving apart now for the past 3 days he has had a severe headache followed by a severe nose bleed that lasts for anything from 10 mins to 30 mins resulting in the headache clearing He is awaiting an appointment with neuro surgeons any advice
I would explain that his symptoms could be related to uncontrolled high blood pressure or an infection (considering the fact that he has metallic plates inside his head). I would recommend you to closely monitor his blood pressure values. It is also important performing some other tests: - a brain CT scan - complete blood count- coagulation tests- PCR, sedimentation rate for inflammation. Hope to have been helpful! Wishing all the best,
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
