What Are The Symptoms Of A Brain Hemorrhage?
Question: hi. can someone please tell me the symptoms of bleeding or swelling in the brain? I've been having terrible headaches for the past 4 days in my temples, middle and top of forehead, top of forehead, and back of head.
Brief Answer:
Symptoms of brain hemorrhage vary.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Symptoms of brain hemorrhage depend from location and kind of hemorrhage and usually include significant deficits.
These include sudden severe headaches, severe nausea and vomiting, weakness of arm and leg, difficulty speaking or interact with others, seizures, extreme sleepiness, tingling and numbness, loss of consciousness, loss of balance etc.
In your case it seems like you are suffering from prolonged tension in headache, but other information is needed to better understand your condition.
This information include fever, blood pressure, medications tried, other symptoms ( if there are any), does headache changes with positions, is it constant or changeable, do you feel anxiety or depressive etc.
Severe headaches accompanied by any of above mentioned neurological deficits can be a serious condition and thus should be evaluated by your Doctor, so I suggest you to consult your primary care Doctor in short time and discuss your concerns.
Hope this helps. If you have further questions feel free to ask.

I can tell you my blood pressure when I get home and take it. it doesn't change with positions. I have had body aches as well and it has been all day today. yesterday wasn't as bad but it was still pretty bad. yesterday it was off and on
Brief Answer:
You should check temperature too.
Detailed Answer:
Hi again. If you have body aches too, you should check body temperature.
Pulsating headaches with body or bone aches may be symptoms of flu together with nose congestion, temperature etc.
OTC drugs ( Paracetamol) should help to improve your symptoms.
Again, other detailed information about your symptoms, medical history, medications help in better understanding your concern.
Feel free to ask any questions and share further information.

I'm overweight but that is it. my blood pressure was 128/73 last night..or something like that.
Brief Answer:
Need a fundoscopic evaluation.
Detailed Answer:
Hi again.
Since you say, you're overweight too, according to your symptoms there is need for a visual and fundoscopic (back wall of your eyes where optic nerve arises) examination to check for/ rule out any increase in intracranial (inside the skull) pressure.
I suggest you to consult an Ophthalmologist and discuss the possibility of visual field and fundoscopic testing.
Hope this helps.
Best regards.
