Difficulty Walking

• Individuals experiencing a brain hemorrhage will often suddenly lose the coordination and balance needed to walk. They may become dizzy for no reason and stumble repeatedly when trying to move. These motor problems occur when the blood collecting in the brain causes brain tissue to swell, pressing it against the skull and hampering the ability of the neural networks to function properly.
  
  

Headaches

• Brain hemorrhages also cause unusual headaches that begin suddenly and with great severity. These headaches are often accompanied by vomiting, facial pain and a stiff, sore neck. The intensity of the headaches increases when you are lying in a prone position or when you suddenly change your position--especially the position of your head.
  
  

Difficulty Seeing

• Another characteristic symptom of brain hemorrhages is sudden vision changes that make seeing difficult. Vision may become greatly decreased, possibly even temporarily lost so that you see only blackness. You may also experience blurred or double vision.
  
  

Difficulty speaking

• A person with a brain hemorrhage may develop a sudden inability to speak normally. You may slur your words or become unable to control your mouth properly. The brain hemorrhage may also cause aphasia, a condition in which you have full cognition but cannot express your thoughts in words.
  
  

One-sided paralysis

• Brain hemorrhages often cause you to become paralyzed on one side of your body. Alternatively, one side (or the limbs on one side) may become numb or weak. You may find it difficult to move and may lose fine motor skills.
