Hi all,

Ive had aneurysm anxiety for about 7-8 months. Wouldn't say its anxiety as such, just a low-level worry that crops up a couple of times a day.

Started having vision probs (v slow adaptation to darkness in one eye) lasted about a month then went. Have since had sharp headaches that last 5-10 seconds in one particular part of my head (side, towards the top) the first headache I had woke me up and I panicked thinking I was having a stroke. Had a normal MRI in January for the vision probs.

Could keep on dealing with this as i have (putting it to one side and trying to forget) but its affecting me in that in a few months I will have to take blood thinners as part of fertility treatment and I'm so scared of a brain haemorrhage.

Can anyone relate? How did you deal with it? I suspect this is quite a common anxiety as its quite catastrophic and us ha sufferers like that kind of thing! :blush:
