Question 1

what are the symptoms of lack of blood to the brain?

Accepted Answer

Loss of consciousnes: With lack of blood to the brain you would faint or lose consciousness. If the interruption is prolonged, damage could be permanent.

Question 2

what are some symptoms of low blood in the head/brain?

Accepted Answer

Not sure of question: Unrestricted flow of blood through the brain is essential for its function, because the brain has no built in stores of nutrients or oxygen.  Minor inadequate blood flow can cause light-headedness and even fainting.  Major blood flow problems such as follows a stroke can lead to death of cells in that region, with major long-term negative effects.

Question 3

what would be the symptoms of decreased blood flow to the brain?

Accepted Answer

Temporary stroke: the brain needs oxygen and blood to work even a brief interruption causes dysfunction. Depending what part of the brain, different things happen:
Motor problems of one side, unequal pupils, particular TYPES of balance issues (dyscoordination one side more than spinning), difficulty speaking, some odd thought dysorders, vision in one side/one eye.
It comes back if the brain doesn't die.

Question 4

what are the likely causes of brain blood clots and what are their symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Artery/Fibrillation: Most strokes are due to clots to the brain.  These occur due to clots from the heart in those with atrial fibrillatiion  and those with plaque in the carotid arteries.  Small clots form, travel up to the brain and occlude small arterioles and thus a small stroke.  There are other causes but those are the most common.  That is why Coumadin (warfarin) and Aspirin are used in prevention of clot formation.

Question 5

what are the symptoms of having a blood clot in your brain?

Accepted Answer

Brain hemorrhage: A brain hemorrhage usually is associated with a bad headache, and loss of neurologic function, like weakness in one limb or another.  Seizures can also occur.

Question 6

what possible causes of brain blood clot and the corresponding symptoms are there?

Accepted Answer

Vascular Neurology: Trauma can cause bleeding in the brain sometimes referred as a clot. Dehydration and infections may increase risk of venous clots in the brain. A clotting disorder, hypertension, diabetes smoking, high cholesterol, cardiac rhythm/mechanical problems may increase a risk of clot formation. We call them strokes and symptoms can vary from headaches to  weakness, numbness, speech and gait difficulties.

Question 7

lack of blood flow to the brain symptom?

Accepted Answer

Lightheaded: If there isn't enough blood getting to the brain you could feel lightheaded or faint.

Question 8

lack of blood flow to the brain. what are the symptoms?

Accepted Answer

TIA and Stroke: The brain needs oxygen to function properly and that oxygen is delivered by your blood.  If you are not getting enough, the brain may suffer leading to dysfunction such as weakness, speech problems or worse.  This can even lead to a stroke if the lack of flow is severe enough.

Question 9

what are symptoms of really really tiny blood clots in the brain?

Accepted Answer

Small strokes: The symptoms from 1-2 mm infarcts or hemorrhages vary from none to temporary disability which clear in a few days.  They can cause cumulative damage also if the cause is not found and treated.

Question 10

can high blood pressure and brain tumours have the same symptoms?

Accepted Answer

High blood pressure: High blood pressure is usually asymptomatic, but so are brain tumors often. When a brain tumor presents with symptoms, it would usually be headache or neurologic change. High blood pressure would usually present with a stroke or tia, these can be similar symptoms to a brain tumor but generally are distinct.
