Hi Maverick and welcome to NT.
I had a subarachnoid hemorrhage along with an epidural hematoma that required surgical intervention, this about 2 ½ years ago. Other than some minor vertigo I don’t have any of the symptoms you describe.
I’m not a neurologist or neurosurgeon, but it would seem to me unlikely the symptoms would spontaneously present again after years of relative recovery unless there was something else going on. From your post you don’t say if you have seen a neurologist recently with these latest symptoms, so the best I can suggest is to get in to see one as soon as possible. The brain is a complex organ, and what you describe could be from another aneurysm, mini-stroke, or something related to the original hemorrhage. In any case it’s not something you should delay in getting checked out.

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition.
Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life.
