Question 10

what're the odds of getting a brain hemorrhage later in life?

Accepted Answer

Increasing: Increase risk for brain hemorrhage can result from many conditions and life styles, such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, smoking, & inheritance.

To mitigate these, eat well, don't smoke (or stop), exercise regularly see doc.
