A member asked:

Hi, i had a bad sudden headache, lasted about a minute a few days ago after exertion. i had a headache similar before but not as intense. went to er & had ct scan. it was normal. would it have picked up an "sentinel bleed"? worried about anuerysm.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Aneurysm : It would have certainly picked up an intra cranial bleed and an aneurysm would be unlikely to cause these symptoms
