The former Poison-star-turned-television-personality Bret Michaels is currently under 24-hour surveillance at an undisclosed intensive care unit (ICU) due to recently suffering a “thunderclap headache.” His severe headache has lead the doctors to diagnose him with a possible brain hemorrhage.
Bret Michaels was rushed to the hospital last Thursday after developing a severe headache, which may have been caused by bleeding in his brain. The reports have not disclosed whether or not his headache was brought on by a head injury or by a ruptured cerebral aneurysm.
According to recent media reports, Michaels called for medical assistance after a throbbing headache. A source told People Magazine that Michaels described the pain in his ambulance call “like [getting] hit in the head with a baseball bat over and over again.”
The doctors diagnosed Michaels with a “thunderclap headache” and put him in the ICU for intense medical supervision.
A “thunderclap headache” is a tell-tale symptom for what is known as a subarachnoid hemorrhage, which refers to bleeding in the brain between arachnoid space and soft tissue surrounding the brain.
