What are the symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage?

Bleeding of the brain is also called cerebral hemorrhage in medicine. We often hear that someone has suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. The onset of cerebral hemorrhage is very rapid and the treatment time is very short. If rescue is not timely, it will be life-threatening. The sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage treatment are generally large, causing great pain to the patient. The recovery period is relatively long, and it is easy to have a secondary attack. So, are there any symptoms before the onset of cerebral hemorrhage? How can we avoid the occurrence of cerebral hemorrhage?

Cerebral hemorrhage is a highly prevalent and easily fatal disease, and the three hours after its occurrence are the "golden three hours". Within these three hours, if cerebral hemorrhage can be discovered in time and medical treatment is sought promptly, it will determine whether the patient can be rescued and will also affect his recovery after rescue. So, what are the signs and symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage, and how to avoid cerebral hemorrhage? If you experience any of the following four symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage, it is best to go to the hospital immediately!

Methods/Steps

1. Headache

Headache is the most obvious symptom of cerebral hemorrhage. When a patient suffers a cerebral hemorrhage, the blood will stimulate the pain nerves in the meninges and brain, and more than 80% of people will experience severe headaches. Its characteristic is that the headache occurs on the affected side at first, and as the intracranial pressure increases and blood flows, the whole headache gradually appears.

2. Hemiplegia

Hemiplegia refers to movement disorders in the upper and lower limbs on one side or the tongue and facial muscles on the same side. This is a very common symptom of cerebrovascular disease. No matter which side of the brain is lesioned, it may cause hemiplegia. The symptoms vary in severity and are divided into complete paralysis and incomplete paralysis.

3. Vomiting

Vomiting is also a common symptom of cerebral hemorrhage, usually projectile vomiting, with a probability of occurrence as high as 80%. When a cerebral hemorrhage occurs, pressure within the skull rises and vomiting and headaches may become severe. If the vomitus is brown, it may be accompanied by upper gastrointestinal bleeding, which is an indication of a high-risk condition.

4. Impairment of consciousness

Because the brain is severely damaged, impaired consciousness is also a common symptom of cerebral hemorrhage. Approximately 60% to 80% of patients with cerebral hemorrhage experience impaired consciousness. Except for patients with milder cerebral hemorrhage who are conscious, patients with moderate or severe cerebral hemorrhage will have serious impaired consciousness, and some may even go into a coma.
