Brain Aneurysm - Symptoms???

[poppy_l]

I'm wondering if anyone out there knows anything about aneurysms or what the symptoms are like. I need reassurance I've convinced myself that I'm going to die of brain aneurysm soon. I've been having pain in my left temple for over a week and a half now, like a spasm of shooting pain that comes and goes. Other times it feels really tight and tense. I've seen 3 doctors but no one will seem to help me or seems concerned about this chronic pain. Had a blood test that came out normal. I had a dizzy spell two days ago where I almost fainted and have been suffering dizziness and nausea ever since. Have no idea what to do. Have had my eyes checked out two months ago so I know it's not vision problems.

Can symptoms of an aneurysm last for days/weeks like I've been experiencing?? Also would the symptoms come and go? I couldn't fall asleep last night because I was so worried I was going to die in the night and wouldn't wake up in the morning.

Your symptoms do not sound anything like a typical aneurysm.

Thank you. I have to keep reminding myself it's not an aneurysm (then other times I convince myself it's a blood clot) at least until my next doc appointment but sometimes I get so afraid and worked up. Of course I keep imagining that it could be anything and it's so scary to feel this way all the time

Well rest assured, I have never heard of an aneurysm presenting like this, and there's nothing in the literature which matches those symptoms.

if you are still worried go back to the drs, that is why they are there, headpain/aches are from lots of different causes are you a sufferer of hayfever because that can cause head pain, dont suffer in scilence get some help take care blessings

I had a friend die of a brain aneurysm, woke up with a headache, went to the kitchen to get a tablet, died on the short walk. Just like that. Mostly they go undetected until too late.

That's so scary, that means hypothetically anyone could die of one at any time!!

Does anyone know if the same is true for blood clots/what the symptoms are? If it's not one thing my crazy mind jumps to the next :weep:
