Oh mally, I'm so sorry to read this, prayers for you and all your family, this all sounds so scary, but hoping for a good outcome ...xx

MRI will confirm or exclude a bleed (commonly from an aneurysm) called a subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Worrying times,but surgical treatment is available with good results.

My dad had this and was diagnosed with the most severe category of migraine.

Brain imaging did not demonstrate any evidence of a haemorrhagic event.

Fingers crossed for your daughter x

[anneasquith]

I'm sorry to hear this news M. Best wishes and prayers for you all .

[mallyh]

thankyou .ys they id say they would operate if a bleed is found ,I just hoping it isn't as she has been through so much ,could the stress of the last 18 months have caused it ?(nursing her hubby through mesothelioma and death )

[Sqad]

",could the stress of the last 18 months have caused it ?(nursing her hubby through mesothelioma and death )"

Yes it could have done particularly if her BP had risen over the past 18months due to the stress that you have described.

[NoMercy]

Yes it could indeed be stress related.

Interestingly my dad's "migraine" occurred just after his best friend died suddenly. It took him some time to fully regain his speech and power in his limbs.

[mallyh]

thankyou x
NoMercy did your dads migraine reappear or was it a one off x

[Butterbun]
