@ourlife2017 Hello and welcome to Mayo Connect. It sounds as if you have had a really rough 3 weeks - I'm so sorry to hear of your health problems. I can understand when you wrote, "I’m very afraid and don’t know if I should go through with this procedure." I see that your doctor is suggesting a lumbar puncture. I believe that is it really important to educate yourself regarding procedures. Have you asked your doctor what he/she is trying to diagnose (or rule out) with this type of test? Teresa

@ourlife2017 The added information is helpful. At this point, do you feel comfortable going forward with the lumbar puncture? Teresa
Yes, because of your response, I asked questions and felt comfortable with the answers... two thumbs up the procedure was done after 12 p.m., waiting for the results. It wasn't bad as I thought it would be.

The right subarachnoid hemorrhage was the diagnosed, and the lumbar puncture is a way to find out if the blood pressure will lower inside my head, along with testing the fluid from the spinal tap; because every other test came back negative.
