Can hallucinations cause a cerebral hemorrhage?

Generally speaking, hallucinations do not cause brain hemorrhages. On the contrary, cerebral hemorrhage compresses the brain tissue, and brain tissue damage may cause mental symptoms such as phantom hearing and smell. There are many causes of cerebral hemorrhage, mainly high blood pressure, rupture of intracranial aneurysm, and arteriovenous malformation. The risk factors may be high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high blood lipids, and hypercoagulable state of blood. And phantom hearing may be caused by certain non-substantial injuries such as psychiatric disorders, or by substantial injuries such as craniocerebral trauma, cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, and so on. Phantom hearing refers to the symptom that the patient consciously hears other people’s speech or other voices in a quiet environment. When this symptom occurs, the patient should go to a regular hospital and ask a professional doctor for diagnosis and intervention treatment.
