What Is The Solution For Brain Hemorrhage?
Hello Sir. This is a question related to neurologist. my grandma had a brain hemorrhage as said by doctors. she also had an paralysis attack. now she's in Coma. but she is opening her eyes more than 4 times a day n her leg is moving when we removed her oxygen at home. as per our observation, her breathing is normal. water comes out vry often from her eyes when any one from the family speaks to her. now we are very much confused about this because doctors said there is no hope for her to recover. so its my humble request to you to show me and my family a right way to proceed further.....

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your grandmother's history and diagnosis.
Brain haemorrhage refers to bleeding in the brain. The outcome after brain haemorrhage depends on the size and location of bleeding in the brain.
If you can upload her CT scan of brain report here, it would help us answer your questions better regarding the chances of recovery.
The condition you have described suggests that she is semi-conscious and is not able to communicate. However, she is able to recognise people and has emotional responses in the form of crying.
Many people partially recover after brain haemorrhage. However, most are left with disabilities in the form of speech impairment, weakness of arm or leg, inability to take care of self, etc.
You should continue supportive care, nursing care, feeding through the naso-gastric tube, and control of blood pressure.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
