Brain bleed: Causes, symptoms, prevention, and more
According to the Cleveland Clinic, brain bleed refers to bleeding between the brain tissue and the skull or within the brain tissue, leading to brain damage. The condition, which can happen in the skull or inside the brain tissue, can be fatal and can occur in two different areas.
Brain bleeding can happen suddenly, and the seriousness and outcome are dependent on the cause, location inside the skull, size of the bleed, the time between the bleed and treatment, age, and health.
There could be severe damage leading to physical, mental, and task-based disabilities. The problem can affect people of all age groups, and although it is more common in older adults, children can also suffer from it.
Common causes for the problem include head trauma, high blood pressure, the buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries, blood clots in the brain, ruptured cerebral aneurysm, smoking, alcohol use, conditions related to pregnancy and childbirth, and conditions related to abnormal collagen formation in the blood vessel walls.
Symptoms of the disease include weakness, numbness and paralysis in the face, arm or leg, headache, nausea or vomiting, confusion, dizziness, seizures, difficulty in swallowing, loss of vision, loss of balance, stiff neck, abnormal or slurred speech, changes in the level of consciousness and breathing problems.
There are a few surgeries that can be done to treat brain bleeds. People can also use anti-anxiety drugs, anti-epileptic drugs, painkillers for severe headaches, and nutrients and fluids as per requirement.
