Symptoms of Bleeding Brain

As a diabetic one of the things I must watch out for is strokes or aneurysms, etc. When diabetes is not controlled it can wreak havoc on the small blood vessels in our organs. This can over time cause those blood vessels to hemorrhage and this can manifest itself in a variety of ways. It can cause a stroke which is in when the blood stops flowing through a blood vessel and ceases to provide blood to a part of the brain, thus causing that part of the brain to die, subsequently we loose the functionality that part of the brain controlled. The opposite end of the spectrum is what is called an aneurysm, which is the rupture of a blood vessel. This causes bleeding of the brain and if not addressed quickly can lead to death. So it is important that we know the symptoms of bleeding brain. They are:

If the blood vessel has ruptured:

  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Stiff neck or neck pain
  • Blurred vision or double vision
  • Pain above and behind the eye
  • Dilated pupils
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Loss of sensation

If the blood vessel has not ruptured:

  • Peripheral vision deficits
  • Thinking or processing problems
  • Speech complications
  • Perceptual problems
  • Sudden changes in behavior
  • Loss of balance and coordination
  • Decreased concentration
  • Short-term memory difficulty
  • Fatigue

Noticing these symptoms for anyone would be wise, but especially so for diabetics. Early, proactive action will save your life.
