thanks everyone for all the advice, great to hear its not unusual, if it keeps up tomorrow I shall go get it checked out

hello everyone, I had a subarachnod hemorage three years ago this July. In the past few days Ive started having headaches, they usually hit me for a couple of seconds at a time. At the right side of the back of my head. they are moderatly painful, kind of pinching pain. Its certainly not as painful as a bleed, thank god. I used to get headaches like these in the months after my hemorage, but thankfully they went away and have only returned recently, they are really annoying and seem to becoming more frequent. my neck is also moderatly stiff too. I excercise a lot, so maybe its just somthing to do with that, does anyone know or have any idea what might be causing this, or can tell me any of there experiences. I know its unlikely but part of me fears that its the beginning of something awfull like the lead up to another event. I guess people who have experienced sah in the past will always have that fear of it happening again, thank you for your help, any advice would be great

angiogram is much better scan but terrible expeirience, certainly would only do it again on doctors advice. mri is fine you just sit there

thanks again for all your advice, think i may know problem, its not from lack of fitness im getting dizzy, i think its because ive started a medication for partial/complex seizures (keppra) a few months ago, mite be affecting my blood pressure. think when doctors say not to be lifting heavey, its because if you have an aneurysm. excerting yourself too much can cause it too pop. anyerysms take years to form i believe. anyway im cutting down on heavy weights to be safer, was at gym today actually, did hour, max lifting 30kg on machines. feel great after, does anyone on here do much excercising. i would reccomend it to any sah survivor who is able, swimming is freat to start with, i started swimming after my stroke, helped me regain power, then i started running, got rid of limp. did 10 k evenyt last year in 47 mins. ive beenb told i made a miraculase recovery by doctors, but i dont think it was a miracle, just hard work. thanks for all your advise on my problem, what a great site, i know where to now for advice in the future

thanks for all the replys, think i mite cut down on the weights a little. mite be over doing it. will get more professional advice also, thanks again

hi my name is dermot, im 27 years old, had sah in 2008 and stroke, worked hard since to regain mostly full power after left sided paralysis, ive been using weights at the gym for some time now, but recently ive started to feel achy in my neck/ head slightly after a session, im beginning to worry that perhsaps weight training might put pressure on my blood vessells, but i dont know, when i last spoke to the doctor a year or so ago, he said as long as i dont over do it, he was very vague on the subject. i wont get to see him again for a long time due to the waiting list here in ireland, i was just hoping to hear people with similar problems to me, could tell me their expeiriences with excercise and particularly weight training. has anyone had any problems or usefull advice on the subject, any help would be great, i love excercising, it keeps me going, dont want to hace to give up, but im really anxious about the effect it mite be having on my brain,i try not to over exert myself, but perhaps somtimes i do. thanks
