Common Warning Signs Of A Hemorrhagic Stroke

Light Sensitivity

Information indicates that up to one-third of patients who experience a hemorrhagic stroke will deal with light sensitivity as a symptom. Light sensitivity is often referred to as photophobia. It means that the affected individual finds light in their environment more powerful than others do. In other words, they feel that the light is too bright, and the result is discomfort or pain. Some patients may squint their eyes or suddenly scrunch them closed to avoid the light. In certain cases, hemorrhagic stroke patients will experience severe light sensitivity and discomfort that can dramatically reduce their vision quality. Hemorrhagic stroke treatment can help relieve this symptom, though dark sunglasses may be necessary as well.
