Health Desk. Brain hemorrhage can occur due to rupture of a weak vein that supplies blood to the brain. In this, blood starts accumulating in or around the brain, which can cause damage to the brain cells. Uncontrolled high blood pressure is one of its main causes. Apart from this, weakness like aneurysm in the brain vein, serious head injury and some bleeding problems can also increase the risk.

Be careful if you see these 5 signs

1. Sudden severe headache: A sudden, severe headache without any apparent cause can be a serious warning sign.

2. Weakness in one part of the body: Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arms or legs is an important sign of stroke.

3. Trouble speaking or understanding: Sudden stammering in speaking, difficulty in understanding words or confusion should not be ignored.

4. Trouble seeing: Sudden blurred vision or double vision can also be a warning sign.

5. Dizziness and loss of balance: Sudden difficulty in walking, severe dizziness or loss of body balance are also included in the symptoms of stroke.

What to do at such times?

If any of these symptoms appear suddenly then one should not wait considering it to be a normal headache or weakness. Stroke is a medical emergency and it is important to seek hospital help immediately. It may also be useful for the doctor to note the time of onset of symptoms.
