What Causes Bright Red Blood Bleeding After A Fall?
I am a 70 year old woman who has had several falls after developing foot drop plus other ailments too numerous to mention. Doctors are confused by these. Today I had a fall that banged up my knee, which bled. The blood was bright red, a new experience for me. What causes this bright red blood? Thanks.
Bright red color is either due to high hemoglobin level which has less chance at your age; or due to less oxygen content of your red cell probability of which is more in your case. As a doctor I would like to check your respiratory system first.
