Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose subcortical hemorrhage
Do you feel any numbness or change in sensation?
Are you unable to move the left or right side of your body?
Do you have headaches or does your head feel heavy?
Do you feel any weakness in your arms or legs?
Do you have blurry vision?
Subcortical hemorrhage requires immediate medical attention and hospitalization. Immediate treatment may involve relieving pressure built up in the brain due to the accumulation of blood from the bleed, stopping the bleed by sealing blood vessels, and/or medications to lower blood pressure. Rehabilitation, other therapies, and lifestyle modifications are required.
