Signs and Symptoms of Hemorrhagic Stroke
The signs and symptoms of hemorrhagic strokes can vary, depending on the size and location of the bleeding. In general, they are quite similar to those of ischemic strokes. These include:
– Double vision
– Vomiting or nausea
– Gait imbalance or vertigo
– Reading or writing problems
– Trouble speaking or understanding spoken language
– Numbness on one side of the leg, arm, or face
– Weakness of one side of the leg, arm, or face
– A serious headache
– Dizziness
In rare cases, high blood pressure may cause profuse bleeding, which results in a quick surge in intracranial pressure. This may lead to more severe complications, such as coma, inability to move, or unresponsiveness. [5]
