Diagnostic Questions for Esophageal Varices Rupture
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Are your stools black and shiny like hair?
- Did you vomit blood?
- Do you feel your pulse is fast (25+ beats in 15 seconds)?
- Have you had a seizure?
- Have you temporarily lost consciousness?
Treatment of Esophageal Varices Rupture
The goal of treatment is to stop the bleeding and maintain the patient's blood pressure. This is typically done through a camera "scope" procedure to tie off the bleeding areas. Medications and "drip" fluids are administered in the meantime. In some cases, surgery is required to redirect blood flow away from the varices or for a liver transplant.

My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
