Just Back From a Serious Stomach Ulcer Posted: 07-21-05 07:43am
Hi, I got an ulcer because of aspirin and
suffered rapid blood loss. My hematocrit
fell to lower than 27.5. (i'm a 45 year
old guy in generally good health.) I left
the hospital after a few days and a few
pints of blood, and my hematocrit stable
at 30. I found walking up to my apartment
(4 flights) very tiring. I'm on iron and
eating extra healthy, and i'm feeling a
tiny bit better with each passing day
(i've been home 3 days.)
do you have any idea how long before i'm
back to normal? How long before all my
lightheadedness goes away? How long
before I can go to the gym? Think it's
okay for me to go for a walk in hot
weather? Will I recover 100% or are their
lingering effects of an ulcer? Do you
have any tips for recovery?
