Cerebral haemorrhage (“burst blood vessel”)

A haemorrhagic stroke ("burst blood vessel") is one in which the arteries are broken typically due to elevations in blood pressure or a prior malformation. Because of this, blood is filtered by the brain, causing damage while disrupting the blood supply - brain cells in the affected area of the brain die from lack of oxygen (ischaemia).

The most common symptoms of a stroke are:

Numbness, weakness or paralysis on one side of the body.
Difficulty speaking or understanding.
Sudden vision problems.
Dizziness, loss of balance, knowledge or awareness.
Sudden, unexplained severe headache.
Mild loss of consciousness or awareness, especially if associated with any of the above symptoms.

There are three important recommendations for a healthy lifestyle in order to reduce vascular risk:

A healthy and balanced diet: eat three meals a day. Eat a varied diet, limit the use of saturated fats, use olive oil, avoid excessive sweet foods, and drink two litres of water every day. If you consume alcoholic beverages, do so in moderation.
Exercising burns calories, helps control cholesterol levels and diabetes and lowers blood pressure. It also strengthens the heart muscle and makes the arteries more flexible. To exercise during your daily routine, you can walk or bike instead of taking the car, climb the stairs, and do activities and jobs that require some physical exercise, such as dancing, etc.
Quitting smoking reduces the risk of heart attacks and stroke, cancer and other health problems.
