I've had a close relative who recently died unexpectedly due to a brain haemorrhage. The symptoms were as plain as a blackout/dizziness (which I've experienced myself multiple times). The person was 67 and was perfectly healthy who underwent regular checkups. I'd like to know what can one do to prevent this from happening and recognize the symptoms as soon as possible. The person just slipped into coma (which just looks as if the person's in deep sleep) and none of us could even realize that something was so amiss. Also, could it be possible that there might be an undetected aneurysm that led to this?

First be assured, short of dizziness you have experienced are not serious at your age. As for your relative, he might had intracerebral hemorrhage due possibly to an aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation (AVM) which most of the times are asymptomatic (unless big in size) and might have ruptured.

It could be anything! The only precaution one can take is to go for annual health checks. Those who have family history of such attacks should beware and their family members also. Rest all almighty god.
