Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for posting your question to HCM.

Yes, high blood pressure is one of the causes of brain bleeding, because the chronic problem weakens gradually the wall of the blood vesels. Though, if high blood pressure if treated well and kept under control the risk of having brain bleeding is much lower.

Other causes of brain bleeding are head truma, congenital abnormalities of the anatomy of the vesels, aneurysms, liver desease which causes problem with coagulation factors and therefore bleeding.

Let me know if you have other concerns.

Take care
