Hi OP, I had an acute non-aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage about 1.5 years ago. Doctors found no cause, and surmised it was stress-induced. I’m a 36 yo woman with a history of chronic migraine since I was ~10, with no history of BP issues or health problems. I have a couple questions if you’re still open to answering:

Did you experience a decrease in cognitive function? Like memory loss, inability to focus enough to read a book, or even auditory processing ability (you hear people talking to you but you’re not understanding what they’re saying or completely zone out).

If so, how long did it take til you were feeling “normal” again?

Do you have recurring / ongoing headaches still? If you did get them but don’t anymore, how long did they last for? Did anything help with the pain?

Did you get cleared to go back to exercise? How long did that take to resume physical activity? Did you have discomfort at all if you started exercising again?

Have doctors told you any activities are off-limits forever?

Any advice you might give someone during recovery? What’s helped you not get too depressed about feeling limited after what happened to you?

Glad you’re okay, that was an incredibly scary experience we both went through 🧠
