Brain Haemorrhage: A Medical Emergency

A brain haemorrhage, also known as bleeding in the brain, is a life-threatening medical emergency. It occurs when a blood vessel bursts and leaks blood into or around the brain tissue. The bleeding puts immense pressure on the brain, damaging its cells and impairing vital functions.

Symptoms You Should Never Ignore

If you or someone near you experiences any of the following symptoms, seek emergency help immediately:

Sudden severe headache (often described as “the worst headache of my life”)

Vomiting or loss of consciousness

Weakness or numbness in the face, arm, or leg

Seizures or vision issues

Trouble speaking or understanding speech

Why Immediate Care Matters

Every second counts during a brain haemorrhage. Delay in treatment may result in:

Permanent disability

Loss of brain function

Coma or death

Surgery or critical care may be required to stop bleeding and reduce brain pressure.

Risk Factors

Factors that increase the risk of brain haemorrhage include:

High blood pressure (hypertension)

Head injury or trauma

Brain aneurysm or blood vessel malformations

Blood-thinning medications

Smoking, alcohol abuse

Medical conditions like liver disease or brain tumors
