Can anyone tell me if there is a link between bleeding on the brain and blood clots (in this case in the lungs but not sure if that's relevant)

We aren't medically trained and you haven't given us much to work with.

If you are on medication for the blood clots I would talk to the GP or pharmacist about it.

A blood clot in the lungs is more likely to travel to the brain and cause a stroke. Medical attention and treatment needs to be sought as a matter of urgency to disperse the clot and prevent a stroke occurring.
