Aside from trauma, a haemorrage in the brain is commonly referred to as a stroke. Another possible cause of stroke is a clot, and this is more common. The side effects of a stroke a completely dependant on the severety of the bleed and what part of the brain is affected. What tends to happen is one of the brain is affected, for example lets say the right hemisphere, then the left side of the body is usually affected, ie paralysis. But there are so many things that can be affected, from speech, swallowing, you name it, it can be affected.
So who gets strokes, well everything in health comes down to what we call risk factors. These factors specifially are genetic, smoking, exercise, diet, weight and any existing medical conditions.
Recovery time can take months to years, although for the average stroke we usually have some idea of how the long term prognosis will be at about three months.

What you describe is a stroke, this can happen to anyone at any time, and can happen due to various reasons, the brain is a wonderful organ and feels no pain itself a stroke happens when a blood vessel breaks and blood leaks into the brain destroying forever the surrounding areas, can lead to speech and language problems, loss of balance, movement or paralaysis down one side of the body, blindness and central and autonomic functions, mild strokes resolve by the brain re learning and re-routing functions, but further strokes may happen. Depending on the area of the brain and the extent of the damage rule what, or if any recovery.
A person will often be trapped in their own body not being able to communicate even the tongue of their birth may be a foreign language to them.Not being able to remember how to dress of function normally which we all take for granted, not recognising loved ones,it is a cruel condition, though a lot of people recover fully or at least recover enough to function with assistance!
there is usually no warning but contributory factors such as smoking, and alcohol may lead to strokes, sometimes warnings such as headaches ( caused by pressure ), it is a struggle if you survive a stroke but rehabilitation and loving family help a lot, your GP will glady provide more information as well as government leaflts and support groups like the stroke association are helpful, hope this info helps.

My nan had a cerebal hemmorage in 1979, she was 47 at the time. She survived and is still going strong today (she's 73 now) and after physio had no lasting damage from that, however she has had two strkes in the years since. I don't know what she was doing at the time of the hemmorage, but I do know that it was linked to smoking - as were her strokes. Nan thankfully gave up smoking 3 years ago, so hopefully no more probs.

Do you mean "Cerebral Haemorrhage" ?
Stroke- Popular term for apoplexy resulting from a vascular accident in the brain, usually resulting in hemiplagia.
Apoplexy- sudden unconsciousness usually caused by cerebral embolism, haemorrhage, or thrombosis. There is stertorous breathing, incontinence of urine and faeces and a varying degree of hemiplagia.
Hemiplagia- Paralysis of one side of the body, usually resulting from a cerebrovascular accident on the opposite side.
Embolism- Obstruction of a blood vessel by the impaction of a solid body (e.g., thrombi, fat globules, tumour cells) or an air bubble.
Haemorrhage- The escape of blood from a vessel.
Thrombosis- The intravascular formation of a blood clot.
Please see the webpages for more details on Stroke (Cerebral hemorrhage).

My younger sister was in a glass factory when she had a very bad headache and "seizure". It turned out that she had a ruptured brain aneurysm. She had surgery and recovered. They also found more aneurysms and she was readmitted to the hospital and had successful surgery to fix those weak spots as well. She is home and onery as ever. She is a tough broad and in her 40s.
