Brain Hemorrhages (Stroke)

Brain hemorrhages are better known as a type of stroke (13% of all strokes) which causes bleeding in the brain which causes the damage of brain cells. There are several ways that brain hemorrhages can occur to a person.
1. Head Trauma - most common cause for those under the age of fifty
2. High Blood Pressure - left untreated is a large contributer for hemorrhages
3. Aneurysm - a weakening blood vessel that swells and can burst, there are no signs for an aneurysm
4. Abnormal Blood Vessels - weakness in the blood vessels
5. Amyloid Angiopathy - an abnormality in the blood vessel which may have smaller bleeds before a large one
6. Blood Disorders - hemophilia and sickle cell anemia
7. Liver Disease
8. Brain Tumors

Symptoms of a brain hemorrhage are very similar to a concussion. Such symptoms include a sudden headache, seizures, nausea/vomiting, changes in vision/speech/understanding, and loss of coordination or balance. It is important that if you have any of those symptoms it is important to see a doctor immediately due to the fact that this is a life threatening condition.
