The condition known as a hemothorax occurs when blood builds up in the pleural cavity, which is located between the chest wall and the lungs. As the blood pushes against the lung’s outer surface, the pleural cavity can eventually cause the lung to collapse.
Hemorrhoids, or the collection of blood in the chest, can result from a variety of conditions, the most common of which are severe chest wounds, surgeries involving the opening of the chest wall, particularly those involving the heart or lungs, and conditions that prevent blood from clotting normally.
Pneumothorax occurs when too much air enters the space between the chest wall and the lungs, placing excessive pressure on the lung(s), causing the lung(s) or a portion of the lung to collapse. Many of the same factors that cause pneumothorax can also cause hemothorax.
SYMPTOMS OF HEMOTHORAX
The following are the hemothorax’s most typical symptoms:
- chest discomfort or a heavy feeling
- Feeling anxious or nervous
- breathing difficulties, or dyspnea
- Breathing quickly
- Abnormally fast heartbeat
- shivering uncontrollably
- Skin turning pale
- More than 100°F (38°C) of fever
We should visit the emergency room as soon as possible if our breathing is labored and our heart is pounding to have a hemothorax or other potential medical issue checked out.
CAUSES OF HEMOTHORAX
A major injury to our chest, also known as a blunt force trauma injury, is the most frequent cause of hemothorax. This can occur when our chest is subjected to a sudden and intense impact, as in the case of a hard fall to the front of our body or when we are involved in a car accident and a steering wheel or deployed air bag strikes the chest very forcefully.
Getting cut or stabbed in the chest can also cause blood to leak into the chest cavity and cause hemothorax, damaging our chest wall, lungs, and major blood vessels surrounding our chest, allowing blood to leak into our chest cavity and put pressure on our lungs.
Blood can leak into the chest cavity if the blood does not clot properly after the surgeon closes the incisions, or if an organ or vessel is cut open and leaks blood. Hemothorax is also frequently a complication of major heart or lung surgery that necessitates the surgeon to open the chest wall.
Hemorrhage in the thorax may also result from:
- a chest cavity leak caused by improper blood clotting
- Cancer in the lungs
- Malignant pleural effusion refers to a fluid-filled tumor surrounding the lungs.
- our chest wall is covered in cancerous tumors
- When a catheter is placed while someone is hospitalized, a large vein is torn open.
- Pulmonary infarction refers to the death of lung-related tissue.
- Our connective tissues are impacted by the condition Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) type 4.
Spontaneous hemothorax, which doesn’t always have a known cause, is another type of hemothorax that can occur during pregnancy or after delivery.
HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT FOR HEMOTHORAX
The theory of individualization and symptom similarity is used to guide the selection of the remedy in homeopathic treatment, which employs a holistic approach. Some examples of homeopathic medicine includeAconite Napellus.Antinonium Tartericum,Arsenicum Album,Belladonna,Drosera,Hepar Sulph,Apis Melifica,Bacillinum.
