Had the flu all week and apparently it has effected my BP. On Sat I had an episode where a crap load of blood suddenly drained from my nasal cavity into my mouth like from a horror film. Then I felt woozy so I drove the Hosp and walked the parking lot to see if it got better or worse. Didn't do either so I checked in and my BP was like around 196/96. They admitted me did a cat scan of my head and blood tests. Then came back and did a cat scan of my abdomen.

Then later the Dr comes in and says "we know why you have pain in your side". I say... I don't have pain in my side. See says that my lipase is 900+ and I have pancreatitis, then talks about the cat scan. They want to keep me. OK, but what about the bleeding and BP. Don't know. So then I wait again to get admitted.

Next Dr comes in to admit me. I'm like great. I need food haven't eaten since 7:30am and it's close to midnight. No food but we'll give you IV nutrition. No thanks, I'll fast. She says I'll be doubled over in pain if I eat. I'm like... I don't have any pain. She pushes around on my abdomen. Nope, no pain. Then she says ok you can have food.

Next morning Dr comes in after reviewing blood results. Looks at breakfast I eat and says you'd be doubled over in pain if you had Pancreatitis and says they have no idea why the Lipase is so high, cat scans look fine, but they can't find anything wrong we me, so go home. BP was 105/70 when I woke up and the only answer I can conclude about the BP is it's an anomaly of my flu, which the first DR refused to believe I had because there was no virus in my blood.

Even though I got it from a party because others got it too and the host said she had it and was probably the source. It was crazy because the whole time I wanted them to focus on my high BP and the Halloween Horror Night display of massive amount of blood that came out of my mouth. I just figured the pancreatitis was some latent condition they found as a result of the tests that could be dealt with later since I had no symptoms.

The first doctor replied NO to the question... could the high BP cause the bleeding? The standard exit instructions for "nose bleed" from the hospital said... If your nose bleed was caused by high BP, then check BP again in the morning.
