Yes, a fall can potentially lead to a blood clot on the brain, typically through a traumatic brain injury such as a concussion or contusion. When the brain is injured, blood vessels may rupture, leading to bleeding and the formation of a hematoma, which can exert pressure on brain tissue. This can disrupt normal blood flow and may result in complications, including clot formation. It's essential to seek medical attention after a fall to assess for any serious injuries.

What are the types of cardiovascular accidents?
Cardiovascular accidents, commonly referred to as strokes, primarily fall into two types: ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. Ischemic strokes occur when a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain is blocked, often due to a clot. Hemorrhagic strokes happen when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, leading to bleeding in or around the brain. A transient ischemic attack (TIA), often called a "mini-stroke," is another type, characterized by temporary symptoms that resolve quickly but indicate a higher risk for future strokes.

How can you die if you fall asleep with a concussion?
You don't die because you fall asleep. A concussion is an injury directly to the brain which causes the brain to bleed from ruptured blood vessels (similar to when you get a bad bruise on your arm when it gets hit). As it bleeds, pressure builds up inside your skull because there is no place for the blood (and the pressure) to go. As more and more pressure is put on the brain, it keeps blood from circulating through the brain which causes portions of the brain to start dying. It's not that the person just goes to sleep, the injury and the swelling cause the person to slowly become unconscious which looks like they are asleep. As the swelling continues, the damage to the brain continues to increase until there is so much damage that the brain just stops functioning and the person dies.
