I get loud ringing noise in head with severe headache. Could this be due to brain hemorrhage?

Hi,

Welcome to iclinq.com.

I am terribly sorry that you are experiencing these worries.

First of all the good news would there have been blood that you taste, it would have been visible. But this was not the case. What is more, a brain hemorrhage is very less likely to make you “taste blood”. The symptoms would be different. However, given your family history and your headaches I recommend that you see a neurologist. Ask your GP for a referral to a specialized center for such brain issues that your mother died from. It would be a good idea to have a look into your brain with a device called Angio-MRI. That’s an MRI which is able to make all the blood vessels in your brain visible. With this procedure one can rule out that you are at any inherited risk, or at least reduce or fix it if there should be an abnormal finding. On top all the other neurological standard tests should be run, like an EEG etc. If you notice the typical signs of a stroke, even mildly, call an ambulance. That might even speed up the diagnostic process given the lengthy waiting times at the NHS. I personally, however, believe that you are suffering from migraine mixed with psychosomatic symptoms caused by the loss of your mother. But that’s just my impression. Let a neurologist have the last word. To reduce your anxiety until then you should see a psychotherapist to ventilate your fears in a professional environment. I will also prescribe you a mild anxiolytic. Thank you.
