A week!! Blimey! Although there are classic symptom signs (i only realised when i did some research) you would expect the medical professionals to pick up most of the posts i have read here apart from few in serious circumstances seem to have not been picked up. Next thing on my list is to change is GP(Locum) who definitely let us down big time. The hiccups have stopped they have given medication for this purpose, I also read its one of side effects to Nimodiphine. Fingers crossed I will try and catch up through your previous posts on how you had SAH etc.. Thank you for reply and best wishes

I though wud update that he has been now discharged from hospital with a set of medication and to be followed up by MRI scan by 6 weeks time... Its definitely back of our mind as to where the problem area is and what would happen next? Just take it day by day i suppose... although him being energy bunny he wants to get back to routine like before...fingers crossed

Hello Thank you for kind reply and assuring words. Its true that this is very rare condition not much information out there. First time i have ever heard about this medical condition myself. Also very little info you wuld get even from medical professionals themselves! I will keep looking for info and also once he is bit better and able to use computer will intro him to this forum as he may have his own questions and looking for answers and there are amazing people here with lot of support Today after bit of pushing from his bro they confirmed Another angio gram in 6 months time, Although they are yet to discuss with the radiology team about his MRI scan. He has also had terrible hiccups non stop with only few hours gap from past 3 days , Not sure if anyone had this problem after SAH? It is causing him stress and another problem to deal with as he does fall short of breath sometimes

I have read through your posts in this thread and it is very helpful to understand what my boyfriend is going through after his SAH on 3rd Jan 12, Unfortunately Out of Hrs and his GP did not pick it up and 3rd time around i had to ring ambulance as he was in agonising pain. After 5-6 hrs long wait in A&E the doc did blood test and CT scan picked up he had a bleed. Bless him he immediately contacted hospital with neuro speciality and transferred us by 5th Jan early hrs by ambulance. The time we arrived A&E staff did mention he would be taken for angio gram that afternoon.He returned to his ward after 3-4 hrs surgery. Next day afternoon we managed to get hold of medical registrar looking after his case we were told that no aneurysm and the problem area not picked up. They are monitoring him currently over the weekend. Thinking to conduct a CT scan tomorrow and based on outcome maybe MRI. After anguishing 4-5 days pain he seemed to be bit today although he gets this annoying constant hiccups, We been advised could be due to painkillers side effects. Now need wait and see what they come back with. Its quite tough time but reading few stories here and how brave you all are there is ray of hope.
