Please advice
Hi. Sudden bleeding in the brain is usually caused by spurt of high blood pressure. Comparative shrinkage of brain with age and loosening of the protective coverings of the brain. If blood pressure is normal, this can occur due to local vascular anomalies. A contrast enhanced MRI of the brain may disclose local cause and also is necessary as a follow-up. All his symptoms will improve with timing. A good family support to boost the morale, a good physiotherapy, Sympathy all help for a good recovery.
