Hi Anx Mum

I can relate to the constant headache, I have Chronic Cluster Headaches and chronic daily headaches, I have had a constant headache for over a year but I have made huge improvements with the help of my neurologist. My headaches are all one sided and change in intensity, does yours intensify or is it just constantly the same all over?

In regards to your worries about a brain aneurism, I am not a doctor and not sure on your history but this is very rare and you would more than likely have more symptoms than a headache. To set your mind at rest if at all possible, a MRI with contrast (a dye that is injected) will show up any issues with the blood vessels but your neurologist will have done some basic checks to ensure there is nothing immediately serious to worry about, for instance checking your pupil reactions and basic motor movements.

I hope you get some relief soon I can completely understand how this can effect every aspect of your life. I don't know if you have tried any medications for pain relief but I would say you are in the right hands with your neurologist.

Kind Regards

When did you have an aneurism before, how was it treated? I would have thought that your neurologist would be the best judge of when tests are needed but you asked for one, she didn't suggest it? Looks like she didn't think it was necessary? CT would show problems but the best person to ask if the doctor, not people on an anxiety forum x

I can't fault the neuro team at Fazakerly Hospital. It was them who diagnosed me with chronic migraines after two years of being fobbed off by my old GP. Hope you feel better soon.

Many of you know me from being a member of the group for many years now. Since then I am dealing with a chronic headache condition I'm under a specialist this has been going on constantly for almost 2 years although I was in constant pain was to a degree dealing with it. Until a bout a week ago with all my medication wasent helping at all I'm in unbearable pain with blinding headaches yesterday I was admitted to hospital because of pain they took bloods where my inflammation had risen and had a ct scan which nothing showed up. Now I'm at breaking point with severe anxiety back I'm having panic attacks and scared cos my mum died of a brain bleed. I'm getting physical symptoms dizziness and shaking. I really need some help can anyone relate?
