Symtoms
It is impossible to know whether symptoms are due to ischemia or hemorrhage based on clinical characteristics alone. The abrupt onset of focal neurologic symptoms is presumed to be vascular in origin.
Non specific symptoms of hemorrhagic stroke may include the following:[7][8]
- Vomiting
- Systolic blood pressure >220 mm Hg
- Severe headache
- Decreased level of consciousness
- Rapid progression of symptoms
