Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia Symptoms
Symptoms of HHT
The location of the telangiectases or AVMs determines the types of symptoms a person with HHT might experience. Symptoms may include:
- Nosebleeds
- Digestive tract bleeding that causes black stools
- Coughing up blood
- Low red blood cell count
- Red or purple spots on the face or hands
- Shortness of breath
- Exercise intolerance or fatigue
- Migraine headaches
- Seizures
- Abdominal pain
- Leg swelling
AVMs in the brain may cause headaches, stroke, or even brain hemorrhage. When AVMs are in the lungs, there is a risk of life-threatening rupture in the lungs, stroke, or development of a brain abscess.
