So last night, after a stressful day in the hospital (diagnosed with hypotension :/), I started to develop a headache at the top of my head that felt "cold". This progressed to my shoulders and neck aching, which I know is a sign of a brain aneurysm. I have a pressure-type headache going on right now along the back of my head, which is what I've had about all day. Feels like a tension headache, but won't go away with acetaminophen.
I got a very minor concussion last monday, but it felt like all the symptoms have cleared since then.
Due to familial history, I am at a higher risk for aneurysms. I have a scheduled MRI coming up this summer I believe, but right now I am petrified that this summer will be too late. I am an 18 year old female, very low blood pressure (that's the hypotension, lol), and my only real risk factors are my family history and my minor concussion - however, I am freaking *out*. I have no idea what type of headache I would be feeling if I had a brain aneurysm (not even a ruptured one, just a growing one), and I'm super scared of just randomly dying from one. I haven't had this fear in years, but this headache is just super annoying and won't go away. Does anyone else fear this?? :unsure:
edit: I also have strong familial history for headaches. My mum gets them almost daily - I'm just scared of ones that don't go away completely with medicine :/
