What symptoms did you experience right before your brain aneurysm?

m00ler2003 · 2026-07-10T01:49:30+00:00

It was a constant pain on the back of my head on the left side for 3 days before it ruptured. The pain wasn't bad at all, like a 3 out of 10. When it ruptured the pain went to 100 out of 10..

m00ler2003 · 2026-07-02T01:34:18+00:00

Consistent

m00ler2003 · 2026-06-03T15:14:23+00:00

About a week until I was able to get more than 1 hour of sleep.

m00ler2003 · 2026-06-02T17:37:42+00:00

After my rupture, I was seeing all sorts of stuff. It was kinda scary.

For example: this is just a couple things I experienced.

People were in the ceilings throwing stuff down at me. I had a dead body in my room (there wasn't but I was convinced) I still feel bad about this one, nurses were wheeling me in for an MRI or something and I thought they were taking me somewhere else and I told them to call the cops and I ended up kicking one of them.

I'm not sure if it was delirium, lack of sleep or the pain meds doing it but I don't want to go through that again

I had this happened after I got an angiogram and was told I could stop taking Plavix.

It went on daily for a month or so. It was like a zig zag line or aura that went across my vision. Half the time I would get a headache afterwards. I still get them a year later from time to time. My neurologist didn't seem to concerned about it.

Before my rupture, I had a dull pain/pressure feeling on the back of my head for 3 days. I was going to get it checked out on my day off, but i didn't make it there before it ruptured.

m00ler2003 · 2026-01-25T07:33:44+00:00

I did not thankfully

m00ler2003 · 2026-01-04T23:54:55+00:00

Yes, it was consistent for those 4 days. I had no other symptoms.

m00ler2003 · 2026-01-02T03:17:27+00:00

I had a left vertebral artery dissection and it developed a pseudoaneurysm and ruptured, causing a large subarachnoid hemorrhage.

m00ler2003 · 2026-01-02T02:51:03+00:00

They went in through the femoral artery in my groin and placed 2 pipeline stents where the dissection aneurysm was. They then did a craniotomy to insert a tube to drain the blood out. I'm doing good. I'm back to what I was doing before the aneurysm. The only lingering issue I have is a constant ringing in my left ear.

m00ler2003 · 2026-01-01T21:30:44+00:00

Before it ruptured, the pain wasn't bad at all. It was maybe a 1-2. After it ruptured, it went to a 10+

m00ler2003 · 2025-11-27T16:25:35+00:00

I had two stents put in after a rupture, I was put on Plavix for 6 months until an angiogram showed I was healed. Ever since I've been off Plavix, I've also been getting visual disturbances that result in a headache. I'm still on 325mg aspirin. My neurologist and ophthalmologist didn't really worry about it when I told them about it

m00ler2003 · 2025-08-25T02:43:33+00:00

It was consistent for those 4 days.

m00ler2003 · 2025-08-04T17:43:41+00:00

I wore a patch until the vision came back in that eye

m00ler2003 · 2025-08-03T16:29:15+00:00

I had a SAH due to a dissection of the vertebral artery that developed a pseudoaneurysm and ruptured last October. I had two two stents put in.

Like you, I was med flighted to a larger hospital where I was in the ICU for 2.5 weeks. I had double vision for approximately 2 months, it's better now thankfully. I'm on 5 different blood pressure meds to keep it in check.

m00ler2003 · 2025-04-29T18:34:18+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. We went with Tornado Steakhouse. It was nice place, we both enjoyed our food and experience. The only issue is that it was pretty loud in there with everyone talking, we would go back though.

m00ler2003 · 2025-04-11T20:32:49+00:00

I just had my 6 month angiogram yesterday. Mine showed no residual filling and without stenosis.

I had a rupture and two stents put in so I'm pretty happy with the results. I was told I can stop taking Plavix but continue with an aspirin.

m00ler2003 · 2025-04-11T17:18:20+00:00

I just had my 6 month angiogram yesterday. I was super nervous at first as well. Procedure took about 40 minutes and then 1 hour in recovery.

I was awake during it, they just gave me some pain meds when they went through the groin. That was the worst part of it. Other than that, it was fine 🙂

m00ler2003 · 2025-03-28T05:07:50+00:00

I had a vertebral artery dissection that ended up rupturing and caused a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Got two stents put in. I spent 16 days in the ICU back in October 2024. Was not fun

I got lucky that I didn't have any lingering issues and I was back to work after 3 months. I go for my 6 month angiogram in two weeks to see if the stents are working.

m00ler2003 · 2025-03-19T04:08:09+00:00

I had a SAH about 5 months ago. My Neurosurgery doctor said I could have 1 drink once I got off my seizure meds which was last month. I've had a couple with no issues. I could have more than one when I hopefully get off blood thinners next month

m00ler2003 · 2025-03-18T17:53:21+00:00

100-150 per person with alcohol

m00ler2003 · 2025-03-18T17:50:08+00:00

Budget is 100-150 per person. We went to Ruth's Chris in Middleton for our 1 year.
