If the subject decides to take part in this study, they will receive acetazolamide with standard of care or standard of care only for four days. This means: The subject will be given acetazolamide tablet orally with standard care for subarachnoid hemorrhage or standard of care only, for a maximum of 4 days. If the subject cannot take medication orally then the investigators will put a tube through the nose to stomach or small intestine. Being part of the study does not exclude the subject from receiving the standard therapy. The subject will be given the current standard of care therapy irrespective of being in the study or not. The investigators will review the subject's medical records and collect information from standard of care procedures that would have been done even if the subject were not enrolled in this study. This information will include, but will not be limited to, the subject's imaging data, sub arachnoid hemorrhage assessments and medical history. The subject's Hunt and Hess scale score and (World federation of neurologic surgeons) WFNS scale score will also be collected. Hunt and Hess and WFNS scale are used to assess the level of damage to neurologic functions of a person caused by sub arachnoid hemorrhage. The subject will be asked to come for the follow-up at 3 months after the discharge from the hospital. The following data will be obtained from each subject at 3-month follow-up. Modified Rankin Scale (m-RS) scores Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) scores
