Question 1

would there be any sign of a slow brain bleed on initial cat scan if bleeding starts later, would i haveany symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Consider followup: Not all intracranial bleeds are seen with the first ct. If you have signs, symptoms, or history to suggest that possibility you should see a doctor and possibly get another ct scan. The history you provide is not specific enough to give you more information.

Question 2

what symptoms of brain bleeding are the most common?

Accepted Answer

Brain bleeding: This is entirely dependent upon the location of the bleeding and the site of the bleeding.  For example, you can have quite a large bleeding in the front of the brain on one side and the only symptom might be headache (or even no symptoms).  A very small hemorrhage in certain locations deep in the brain can cause paralysis on one side of the body or even coma.

Question 3

can a bleed in the brain develop symptoms a few days after injury?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes. Any head injury where there is the remotest suspicion for possible bleeding should be evaluated immediately in an emergency room or other appropriate urgent care facility. That is a no-brainer (which is what you might end up with if you don't follow this advice!).

Question 4

for what length of time could you brain bleed for without symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Varies: Small bleeds that occur near the 'edges' of your brain may cause minimal symptoms, if any. Hemorrhages that occur near more vital structures and pathways will typically cause symptoms almost immediately.

Question 5

need expert help here. what are the symptoms of your brain bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Brain bleeding: The most common initial complaint is "this is the worst headache of my life". The headache is sudden in onset and severe.

Question 6

how long can a slow brain bleed last before you die or go into a coma or something?

Accepted Answer

More info: there are too many factors involved in brain bleeding  to answer your question, too many variables. Why are you asking  did you or someone you know have a "brain bleed"?  If so you should be followed closely by a Neurosurgeon.  Some can be instantaneously deadly and some can take weeks.  Many bleeds get better on their own.  See you doctor quickly or go to ER if you think you have a bleed

Question 7

i just hit my head not so hard and i didnt get any symptoms but im worried i may have brain bleeding and not know it  its been 2 hours and no symtoms, how can i know that im fine?

Accepted Answer

Well...: .. you're online, you have no symptoms, seem articulate. Are you dizzy? Headache? Vision issues? Your brain is protected by a nice, thick skull... mother nature plans ahead. If you seem fine, you most likely are fine. If you have any symptoms out of the ordinary, then you should seek medical care. But from what you described, there is nothing out of the ordinary.

Question 8

can a slow brain bleed show up days after an initial cat scanafter head injury?

Accepted Answer

Yes : Yes, even up two 2 weeks at times.

Question 9

could an ipad falling 2 ft onto the top of your head cause a slow brain bleed? happened last week. diagnosed w vertigo today. didn't know if related

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Head trauma can produce a slow bleed, but symptoms are progressive and unlikely to consist of vertigo alone.  Vertigo is not a diagnosis. It is a symptom which may represent any one of a number of underlying problems ( problems in the inner ear, vestibular nerve or in brain itself.).  Best to check with your doc so that you understand the cause and specific treatment of your vertigo.

Question 10

how quick would symptoms of brain bleed  show after fall, would it be very obvious? 4 days since son fell. small bump/cranky. bump gone. am i in the clear?  fever today & stuffy. any association?

Accepted Answer

Do not worry: Most closed head injuries by far are very benign, and kids are very resilient.  Your description is typical of a fully resolved bruise over the scalp, and sounds only like he has upper respiratory tract infection now.  However, if he seems very sleepy, has repetitive nausea and vomiting, and seems to act in unusual way, contact pediatrician just to reassure.
