Hi guys,
New to the site and I'm just wondering if anyone knows about going on roller coasters after a subarachnoid haemorrhage? I had an unknown AVM that ruptured a few years back. It's been coiled and I get physical symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision, migraine, a bit of vertigo (in certain types of lift etc), and occasionally my right side still goes weak. I used to love theme parks such as Alton towers and have been thinking of going back... Then I suddenly aliased its probably something I should check up on first! I've been discharged from the neuro now which is why I'm asking for advice here. Tbh, I'll probably still check with them though, just to be on the safe side. Any advice would be really appreciated!

Welcome to Neuro Talk. I do know what an AVM is. my neighbor had this happen to him years back. You do need to get clearance from your neurologist. I also was cleared by my Neuro, however it doesn't mean I can engage in all the activities I did before. I loved to sky dive, and horse back ride and jumping. With my neck fused it wouldn't make much sense to fall etc. I think the coasters would be risky as it does put strain on all parts of your body. I miss coasters too. If it were me Katie, I would bag it, and not take a chance. Your neurologist knows the best, seek the answer for sure with him. It is difficult when our life presents medical issues that change us. ginnie
