My Mother and I were both 52 years old when we had our SAH. Mom's was in 1983 she stayed comatose for 2 weeks. She suffered some weekness and speech problems. Mostly suffered from emotional effects. Depression and Anger. I had my SAH at 52 in 2009. I was very fortunate not to suffer any lasting effects.
My Brother 55 years old had his a few weeks ago. He was just released from the hospital...so far there are no signs of a stroke. I'm new to this site and felt I needed to research the possibility that SAH could be hereditary. I'm not sure anything can be done for my children to prevent this. Since my brother had his I feel certain this has to be hereditary. The doctors at Harborview in Seattle didn't say much about it.
