I had a subarachnoid brain hemorrhage earlier this year. It was an aneurysm that burst. The pain in my head knocked me unconscious. I was told later by those who were present that I went into a seizure. I was taken to the local hospital where I had a CT scan and was then flown to the trauma hospital two hours away. I had two surgeries and I am on the mend now.
I had the thunderclap headache and extreme nausea and had no idea what it was. I struggled on for 3 days, getting worse and worse until I couldn't function any more. Went to the GP, who sent me to the hospital where they did a CT scan that didn't show any blood because of the time delay I guess. Then they did an LP which came out pinkish yellow and then they did a CT Angiogram which was excruciatingly painful... Thunderclap headache and nausea all over again. That's when my burst aneurism (SAH) showed up. I was rushed into intensive care, then into surgery for endovascular coiling. If they hadn't done all those tests I wouldn't be alive to tell this tale so thank you for all the education and research you're doing x PS: Eight months after that I had a huge heart attack (Troponin over 50,000) and was airlifted to hospital to have clot removed and 2 stents fitted and I survived that too! Oh and since then I have been diagnosed with Exploding Head Syndrome.
I had a SAH without a headache and believe me I know what bad headaches feels like. I had an extremely stiff neck and vomiting. I thought I had meningitis. Mine burst when I blew my nose.
I got a traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage from a car crash 16 days later I’m fine got a Harry Potter scar on my forehead no headaches really just tiny ones and bit off neck ache first week or so
I have had a SAH after a drunk driver hit me, worst headache of my life, I was hoping I would die(sic) sick as a dog and awful stiff neck. I had a relapse about a week later, not another SAH but Jesus Christ, the second worse headache, sick as a dog and stiff neck again. Now a month later, I still have a low grade headache, continually tired and feel awful. Lucky for me no cognitive issues.
I had SAH after a gym session. I'm so hesitant to resume the gym because that headache was so bad that I don't ever want to experience that again. Recovery was a roller-coaster as well. I hope you make a full recovery like I did.
Thank but I have a patient 20 years old female with sudden thunder clap headache and syncope but there was also fever...CT brain was negative and LP showed blood .The CSF lab showed 65 mg/dl glucose 200000 RBC and 104 WBC but protein 540 mg/dl. We are perplexed whether this is a case of Subarachnoid hemorrhage or bacterial meningitis !!!? what is your opinion thank you.

I had thunder clap & neck issues but didn’t finally collapse til 8 days later, CT scan done & received life saving coil treatment 24hrs later.

That graph at 15:57 is so good.

RCVS sounds like a prinzmetal angina of the brain. Is there literature about CCBs for treatment?
Super!!!
Very good talk. Thank you.
vasospasm or compression ? i think these are two different phenomena
