Recovering from a sub-arachnoid haemorrhage
A guide for patients and carers
Unusual sensations
People often say that they experience odd or unusual sensations in their brain which are unlike headaches. They are very difficult to explain, but people do describe them as tickly in nature and feel like water running across the surface of the brain. No one quite knows why these occur but they are very common and are nothing to be concerned about. They will ease in time.
