How to Prevent Subarachnoid Hemorrhage


Aneurysms present since birth cannot be prevented. Since they are so rare, doctors do not recommend screening for them. However, not smoking and controlling blood pressure can theoretically reduce the risk of a rupture if an aneurysm exists. If an unruptured aneurysm is discovered by chance in a young person, the doctor may do surgery.

Wearing a seatbelt and using a helmet can reduce the risk of subarachnoid hemorrhage from head trauma.
