Question: Hi Doctor
My fathers has suffered colles fracture in his left wrist in the bathroom when he went to take a bath a few days back.
In the morning of this incident, he as usual got up early but didn't feel like going for a morning walk which he usually goes for.
He doesn't remember what happened and how it happened. He came out of the bathroom by himself after few minutes and started complaining of pain in his wrist. We are contemplating that it might have been a momentarily Blackout when he fell and fractured his wrist.
He doesn't have memory of this event and was repeating words/sentences that day.
We went to an orthopedic first and got his hand plastered. His ECG and brain's CT scan reports have come out to be Normal.
His blood glucose test is also normal.
Since the Orthopedic surgeon brought him out of OT
it has been 3-4 days and now we see that his right hand is showing blood clot patch around his veins above the wrist on the inner side of the hand. We think it might be because of saline/anaesthesia in the OT but not sure.
He doesn't have a medical history of cardiac or neurological ailments.
But we know for sure that he usually is under good amount of stress in his workplace and lately has been under stress for personal reasons too.
He seems all-right now but we are worried and confused as to whether to go to a cardiologist/neurologist? We are trying to get his diet as healthy as possible.
