What Causes Severe Headache Along With Slurred Speech?
A 54-yr old male business executive had been experiencing “migrainelike” headaches. One afternoon he also experienced light-headedness, slurred speech and mildly impaired motor function on his right side. One of his colleagues rushed him to the ER. His BP was 195/100 mmHg, which he said was a typical BP for him during the past two years.

Hello,
Intracerebral bleeding may lead to a headache. It may also lead to weakness and slurring of speech.
So treatment depends upon the size of hemorrhage. Use antihypertensive drugs and anti-edema measures.
If symptoms not improved need to remove clot through a craniotomy.
Please consult your neurosurgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
