Weird sensations in head - Brain aneurysm?

[tan235]

Hi All,
I've suffered from this for a while now - I would say about 10 years but lately they seem to be back with a vengeance.
I get what I can only describe as brain shocks?
I will be sitting down reading a book or watching TV when suddenly I'll get a shock through my brain.
I get it at night too - I"ll wake up in a panic attack mode - searching for my phone to dial an ambulance as I' sure I"m dying and lately it happens every night, I think do some breathing and calm down and go back to sleep.
I've been reading up on brain Aneursym's - why? I don't know!!
But now I'm certain that all this weird stuff I'm feeling in my brain as to do with my arteries blocking.
Anyone else get this?
My Dr wont give me a CT scan as he thinks it's all anxiety and he doesn't think I should put my body through that, but lately I"m thinking that an artery will jsut burst and I'll die from a brain aneurysm as what else can cause such full on full body sensations that start at the brain!!!

Anyone else????

I get brain shocks often, my anxiety definitely makes it worse.
If your doctor isn't concerned then that's a good sign, I don't think its a brain aneurysm or anything bad x

All the best :hugs:
