Sorry for the loss of your dad.
It's a brain stroke. A blood vessle bursts & bleeds into the brain, causing immediate death. IF the person's lucky & is rushed to the ER immediately, given a blood thinner, then they can have a host of other problems. Vegetative state, paralysis, speech impairment, etc.
My uncle died of one 3 years ago, 2003 Easter weekend. He was found by the police who'd been called by a co-worker who'd stopped by to check on him. He didn't answer the door or phone. The police told us that he looked like he'd gone to sleep reading at the table. He had high blood pressure problems & refused to go to the doctor. He also had migraine headaches from the increased blood pressure. An autopsy was done to rule out drug overdose & other issues. The M.E. told my grandma that the veins in his head around the burst area were onion thin.
I get migraines too & have a CT scan & MRI done yearly. I have a heart murmur that makes my blood pressure go wonky & my heart race. I take Ativan to help keep it under control for now. Ideally, I should have those tests done every 6 months but my insurance won't pay but once a year. I can't afford them out of pocket or I would get them on my own.
Stress is a major issue & can be reduced actively. I'm constantly journaling my migraines to change the way they affect me. So far this year, I've only had 2 that have put me to bed. Both were stress related. High blood pressure runs on both sides & that can be genetic in any family. If that's on one or both sides, you need to be watchful of your own pressure.
Buy a blood pressure monitor & keep a written diary/journal of the numbers. Try to recall when it's high what made it that way & write that down too. At the end of the week, make time to reread your entries. Then make lifestyle changes from there. I also do this & it helps more than I'd ever thought it would.
"An aneurysm (or aneurism) is a localized dilation or ballooning of a blood vessel by more than 50% of the diameter of the vessel and can lead to instant death. Aneurysms most commonly occur in arteries at the base of the brain (the circle of Willis) and in the aorta (the main artery coming out of the heart) - this is an aortic aneurysm. This bulge in a blood vessel, much like a bulge on an over-inflated innertube, can lead to death at any time. The larger an aneurysm becomes, the more likely it is to burst."
