Overview
The classic symptom of subarachnoid hemorrhage is thunderclap headache ("most severe ever" headache developing over seconds to minutes). This headache is often described like being "kicked in the head".[1] 10% of all people with this symptom turn out to have a subarachnoid hemorrhage, and is the only symptom in about a third of all SAH patients. Other presenting features may be vomiting (non-specific), seizures (1 in 14) and meningism. Confusion, decreased level of consciousness or coma may be present. Intraocular hemorrhage (bleeding into the eyeball) may occur. Subhyaloid hemorrhages may be visible on fundoscopy (the hyaloid membrane envelopes the vitreous body).
History and Symptoms
- Double vision
- Nausea and vomiting
- Neck pain
- Numbness
- Personality changes such as confusion and irritability
- Severe headache: Headache is the main symptom. It often starts suddenly and starts after a popping or snapping feeling in the head.
- Speech disturbance
- Sudden or decreased consciousness
- Weakness on one side of the body

Symtoms
It is impossible to know whether symptoms are due to ischemia or hemorrhage based on clinical characteristics alone. The abrupt onset of focal neurologic symptoms is presumed to be vascular in origin.
Non specific symptoms of hemorrhagic stroke may include the following:[8][9]
- Vomiting
- Systolic blood pressure >220 mm Hg
- Severe headache
- Decreased level of consciousness
- Rapid progression of symptoms
