What Happens When a Brain Bleeds?

My Dad is 88-yrs old and has dementia right now he's in a care home .He has to be 24/7 watched .He has fallen a lot in the last 6 to 7 yrs. The doctors have given him CT scan and there's bleeding on his brain. The plan on doing other one to see how much the bleeding is spreading or if there's more. This is really hard I'm the only who has to make all the decisions for him.

My father recently passed away, he went into hospital because he was forgetful and ended up being diagnosed with delirium... After weeks in hospital with slight improvement every day he ended up having a clot in his lungs which they say was due to staying in the bed for too long. After 5 weeks he ended up having a brain bleed from the thinners used for the clot and this left him in a vegative state. His food and water were taken out and was left to die...he died after 9 days...devastated... He was such a strong man, I still don't understand how this all happened and really didn't get many answers from Dr's. Heartbreaking to see my father slowly die from what??.... Dehydration??!!!

Not all brain bleeds end in severe mental illnesses or death. When I was born I had a brain bleed behind my eye. I had to receive a special treatment that opened my pupil so that they could see behind my eye. I am now 12 years old. I'm fine. 

my friend had a brain bleed and I am worried because he is aware of people and sometimes tries to speak one word at a time, but he brother wants to stop feeding him and just let him die, it has only been three weeks and he is getting better everyday, I cannot understand how a hospital can allow this, since the man is getting better each day and he does not have a DNR.  everyone is praying for him and today he asked for water and prayers.  How can one allow this, he is even moving his legs and hands.  everyone who knows him is upset.  please pray. for all persons in this situation.  How can a doctor and a brother make such a decision when the patient is getting better daily??? very upset in California

My nephew had a spinal tap for Meningitis and is now blacking out and has seizures and pain shooting down his left arm. The hospital released him stating was due to an event, but no major events. He is 6'6 and the doctor missed the first time. Please help my 19 year old nephew. He was fine till this happened.

Well a teacher got hurt in a car accident and she wad. In the car with her husband and some one threw a rock over the bridge and it went threw the window and hit the lady in the head and some of her brain feld out and she went threw a lot I realy dont get what happened and I cant even picture it I realy want to know?

Well my father died from a bleeding stroke a month ago i encourage anybody with dis problem to seek help fast it can kill u..

I crashed while riding my bike in late July 2014.  Hit my head in the crash but fortunately was wearing a helmet else injury would have been worse.  Initially sought no medical help post crash but began suffering severe headaches about two weeks later.  My conditioned worsened to the point that I was suffering from stroke-like symptoms. Three weeks post crash My wife forced me to go to the ER of a nearby hospital.  A CT scan revealed a subdural hematoma.  Was transferred by ambulance to another hospital for neurosurgery.  Had two burr holes drilled through my skull to drain the blood from the  SH.  For 36 hours post-op I was flat on my back in a hospital room with a tube  coming out of each burr hole so more bold from the hematoma could be drained.  Surgery on Friday evening and released on Monday afternoon (Labor Day), feeling a lot better.  Returned to work the day after release (I'm a teacher so work is not physically strenuous).  Felt progressively better each day thereafter.  Cannot ride a bike for four months but I can walk and hike and ride stationary bike for exercise.  There is a lot of hope for subdural hematoma sufferers.

My uncle has this, but he won't be going through surgery. Any reason why. He was given meds.

Hello, I feel sorry for every human being , that suffers from any type of pains. my son had an accident on June 8 and had brain surgery on his right back next to the ear. Can someone tell me what doctor can help us to minimize his headaches, all body is in pain. They give him norco 20 mg and neurontin which doesnt help. Please we leave in LA, if someone can help me with advise.

I will pray for everyone and wish you quick recovery

My step dad and I were home alone I was 5.  He went to shovel to roof fell off and came in the house with blood coming out of his ears, nose and mouth, i think i went to the neighbors house and they called the hospital and they had him their quickly but he passed.   All this time latter i know have seizures due to epilepsy and sometimes fall, it is scary, some times i don't even have my head checked out, oh well

Does a patient w negative CT scan and LP results showed xanthochromia, erthocytes and high protien and  shows bilateral drop foot (hours after lp) likely have hemotoma or traumatic tap?

I slipped and fell a month ago getting in my truck. I hit the back of my head on the corner of the truck cab. I sat there and watched the car next to me go from gray to almost black. Since then I am have trouble with dizzyness. If I stay in one position for very long and move I get dizzy to the point I have to hold on to some or fall.
