What are the symptoms and consequences if the vessel bursts in the head

1 Causes of vascular rupture in the head

The main causes of a burst vessel in the head are a sudden increase in pressure or hypertension. Constant high blood pressure, or hypertension, at a young age and especially in the elderly is a high risk factor for the development of stroke and vascular rupture in the brain. High blood pressure is often not an independent disease, but a symptom of a more serious illness.

• Vascular aneurysm in the brain

With this disease on the vessel in the brain, a neoplasm appears, which eventually grows and stretches the vessel, thinning it. Education has a convex structure and, when enlarged, presses on the brain tissue, causing severe pain to the person. Aneurysms can develop in different vessels of the body, but the most dangerous formations in the brain, since even a small dilatation of blood vessels can lead to rupture and hemorrhage into the brain.

There are many reasons why the aneurysm develops in the brain. This can be pathological development of blood vessels from birth( can cause bleeding in a child), trauma, use of some drugs, as well as diseases of the cardiovascular system, connective tissue and kidneys.

• Blood clotting disorders

Poor blood coagulation and especially such a rare disease as hemophilia can lead to frequent bleeding, including in the brain.

With rapid blood coagulation, there is also the risk of a stroke in the brain. The appearance of a thrombus is always dangerous for human orgasm. Passing through the bloodstream, the blood clot very quickly enters the brain, clogs the vessel, causing it to stretch, break and bleed into the brain.

• Injuries to

Even light head impact, concussion and traumatic brain injury, especially open, can cause the vessel to rupture in the brain.

In addition to high blood pressure and blood vessels, there are many factors that are not the primary causes of vascular rupture, but can provoke a hemorrhoidal stroke:

1. Increased body weight. Excess weight affects negatively the state of the whole organism and, first of all, on the health, elasticity and strength of the vessels, including the brain.
2. High cholesterol content. This substance settles on the walls of the vessels and provokes their blockage and the possible occurrence of an aneurysm.
3. Having bad habits. Alcohol and especially smoking adversely affect the elasticity of blood vessels, increase blood coagulability and the risk of thrombosis.
4. Lack of a flexible way of life and refusal of sports activities.
5. Such diseases as diabetes, carotid disease, Fabry's disease, arrhythmia, etc.

2 Symptoms of

When a vessel is ruptured, the patient needs urgent help. The ability to save a person not only from disability, but also from death is sometimes calculated not by hours, but by minutes.

There are signs by which risk can be determined even before the rupture of the vessel. A few hours or minutes before the hemorrhoid stroke, especially with physical activity or violent agitation, a person has severe pain in the head, which can not cope with painkillers, the face turns red and sweats at the expense of a large tide of blood to it, vision can change( someobjects get reddish shades).

A few minutes before the rupture of the vessels and the occurrence of a stroke, the following precursors arise in man:

• a wry smile or an inability to smile;
• lack of normal speech, a person can not formulate even a simple sentence, speaks with difficulties and stumbles;
• when lifting the hands of a person can not lift them on one level;
• on one side of the body may begin weakness and lethargy, right up to paralysis.

A person who is at risk of vascular rupture in the head should memorize these signs by heart and, if they arise, urgently call an ambulance or call someone.

The stroke itself develops quite quickly. A person may be conscious, but most often faints. Symptoms of a stroke:

• "red" eyes - bleeding in the retina of the eye;
• severe pain in the head;
• impairment of respiratory activity, pulse;
• severe vomiting even after losing consciousness;
• occurrence of twitching or seizures in the body.

3 First aid

The first thing to do is to call an ambulance. In this case, it is necessary to accurately and accurately name the precursors of the attack and the present state of the patient.

Prior to the arrival of a person's physicians, it is necessary to lay on the back, but with the condition that the head is much higher than the body.

Under it you can put a few pillows or a folded several times a blanket. If possible, it is necessary to measure the pressure and immediately release the person from the chains, tie, collar, unbutton all the buttons on the outer clothing, loosen the straps.

If a person is conscious, it is necessary to give him drugs from high blood pressure( if he takes them).Rapidly lower pressure will help a hot foot bath, tincture of hawthorn or valerian.

In case of severe vomiting of a person, do not put on your back, especially in the absence of consciousness. Vomit will move more easily and will not enter the lungs if the injured person is positioned in the position on the side. If there is no pulse or breathing, it is urgent to begin heart massage and artificial respiration.

4 Treatment of

Treatment of rupture of blood vessels in the brain begins with the first minutes after the onset of an attack. If the patient is slightly injured, they are hospitalized in neurology or neurosurgery, but in most cases it is necessary to find a person in the intensive care unit.

Treatment after a stroke is aimed at restoring the body after an attack and preventing repeated ruptures.

If the brain is severely damaged and a large hematoma occurs, surgical intervention is necessary. During the operation, the doctor discovers and removes the cause( aneurysm, blood clot) and leaked blood.

The following therapy includes support and restoration of necessary body functions( breathing, movement), limiting any loads, including emotional ones, restoring the cardiovascular system and regularly monitoring the composition and coagulability of the blood.

In many cases, rupture of blood vessels in the brain leads to partial or complete paralysis of the body. A few days after the transfer of a patient from intensive care, it is necessary to begin physiotherapy procedures to restore the work of the muscular system. In the first period, there is enough prophylaxis of pressure sores, treatment of the body with special means, easy stroking and massage.

A week after the start of the rehabilitation period, it is necessary to conduct classes to restore speech, the ability to chew normally and swallow food. After a while you can use mud and herbal baths, start walking outdoors and exercise therapy.
