Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.

Dear- thanks for your question and will give you my medical advise. It looks that your dad is in serious condition, having congestive heart failure makes the heart works hard and accumulates fluid in the abdomen. In addition to that , the kidneys won't get adequate blood flow and start malfunctioning. The internal bleeding could be from chronic gastritis and that creates a cardiac shock because it aggravates the circulation to the internal organs. Fluid and blood replacements has to be very careful to avoid fluid overload and complications. I hope that my advise has been helpful. Dr Sara
