Ask your GP - there will be a charge to pay. They will be able to do your general records. For your surgery etc. contact the PALS team at the hospital where it was done and they will be abke to send you the forms. Again there will be a charge.

As to your questions on after-effects etc everyone is different.but you can probably expect a combination of some, all or none of the following, depending on what your aneurysm was like, how it ruptured, andwhat procedures followed: fatigue, memory difficulties, information processing problems, muscular dofficulties, seizures, headaches, sight problems, language difficulties. Best to ask your surgeon for a review to discuss post-op life questions such as this tbh.

Not what you're looking for?
