Is It Safe To Have Alcohol Inspite Of Having Subdural Hematoma?
Question: i fell backwards off a ladder after being in the hospital i was told i had a subdural hematoma i am used to haveing a mixed drink befor bed is this ok?
Brief Answer:
If it alchohol, don't use it.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
If drink you use contains alchohol, then I recommend not to use it.
One of signs of progressive subdural hematoma is conscience depressed, so alchohol could interfere with right diagnosis and evaluation of your condition.
Another think to mention is depressing of coagulation proprieties of blood by damaging liver function, so alcohol may cause enlargement of hematoma.
