Clinically, the so-called warning signs of cerebral hemorrhage refer to early clinical symptoms of this condition. The underlying cause of cerebral hemorrhage is cerebral arteriosclerosis; when blood pressure rises, excessive vascular pressure can lead to vessel rupture and subsequent brain bleeding. Because cerebral blood vessels lack smooth muscle, they are particularly prone to rupture when arteriosclerosis is present and blood pressure increases. Therefore, clinically, the warning signs of cerebral hemorrhage mainly manifest as symptoms of hypertension, including stage 3 hypertension or hypertensive emergencies such as hypertensive encephalopathy.
