Thanks for the reply. and I meant an NA SAH of course. I do also notice that this little thread seems to have a huge preponderance of sufferers who had their bleed while exercising. Just saying. Does anyone know if there is a go-to person (consultant/neurologist/academic) in the UK or US on this issue. there a gentleman called Rinkel in Utrecht who wrote his PHd on the subject back in the 90s and seems to be leading a lot of work on both NA SAH and A SAH. For example, if people are curious about causes (small sample size though), see this: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24629055

Greetings all: I had an ANSAH on February 15 of this year. Also while exercising. doing physio for a blown knee. I saw some excellent doctors in Singapore. Had 3 angiograms, 5 CT scans, 3 MRIs, one with contrast. Nothing found. I was repeatedly told to "be careful" "take it easy", not lift anything heavy or rush for airplanes, but couldn't get any sort of a straight answer about resuming vigorous exercise in the longer term, which was an important part of my life. Now trying to get back to full time work (I am a writer and, of course, worry that it will affect the quality and/or quantity of my output). Overall, I'd say that my experience so far has been very similar to Chris G's (thanks for your helpful posts), notably including the weird headaches, the gloomy days etc. Still trying to find out more about causes and, obviously, long term prognosis. I don't think most of the records on this condition go back more than a decade or two. It was only identified in the 90s, I believe. another problem is that compared to aneurysmal SAH sufferers, our outcomes are relatively good, perhaps making us somewhat less interesting to study! Anyway, onward and upward. Am a newbie on this sight and would appreciate word from anyone who has experience that sheds light on the exercise issue or anything related. Your posts have been a great help in this strange time.
