I woke up about 4 months ago with a pretty crappy headache, and neckache and have been convinced ever since that I have a aneurysm that is just ready to burst any moment. It doesn't help that I have TMJ and no curve to my spine which causes horrible headaches and neck aches (two signs that I learned from "Google" that are classic symptoms of an enlarging aneurysm) and I also have a Pschological Anisocoria (uneven pupils) which I've had for YEARS and my doctor has all but yelled at me that I am one of the few people in the world that just have it, with no cause.
Anywho after getting another headache last night and spending the whole night curled in a ball contemplating whether or not to wake someone up to call 911. I finally decided to do some research on Aneurysms. No symptom looking up, just simple research.
And this is what I found out, and it may give you some peace of mind if you have the same fear as I do.
I'm American so I'm using US population for this.
The U.S population is roughly 305,000,000. Of those 305 Million, 15,000,000 will have a brain Aneursym. That is ONLY 5% of the population. Out of those 15 Million only .05-3% will experience a rupture (Roughly 450,000). So out of 305,000,000 people in the U.S you have a .15% percent chance of having a ruptured aneurysm.
This has actually calmed me down a great bit. We all are guilty of reading symptoms on google and assuming the worst, but when you cut it down like this, into numbers and simple black and white it actually eases the mind a lot.
