I suffer from really bad HA. Right now, I'm living in constant fear of a brain aneurysm. My mum has a heart aneurysm, and I have been tested and it is confirmed that, genetically, I will be more prone to developing aneurysms :(
I'm 16. Yesterday I was at my aunt and uncle's, and it was hot out (no A/C inside either), and I started to get a headache. Immediately I thought aneurysm.
As well, for quite a while (at least since last year) I have been having this "throbbing" sensation in my head, or "heavy heartbeat" if you will. It feels like my heart is pumping a very heavy heartbeat, and this certain spot in my head (almost like a certain vein) twinges painfully. It often happens after walking up/down stairs, going for short walks, getting up from a chair, etc.
I've also been having more eye floaters than usual, and my left eye (which, coincidentally, is on the same side of my head as the brain pain is happening) has been having pain behind and above (around eyebrow-height) it.
I am not overweight (slightly under, actually). My blood pressure is super low (my mum says this is what is causing the "heavy heartbeats"). I had a brain scan last year and an eye exam last year as well.
So, best case scenario: heavy heartbeats (does anyone else have these??) are from low blood pressure, eye pain and floaters are from new haircut (bangs I got last month) or new habit of wearing mascara, and head pain is from heat (headache comes and goes, and doesn't stay in the same place sometimes, btw).
Worst case scenario: I have a brain aneurysm that's about to pop (ew).
Please help! I'm sick with worry, and everything online is in reply to people that don't have potentially hereditary aneurysms :(
