Hi guys, I'm in a real panic as I just went onto a website specifically about headaches to look for some info for my partner who has had a headache on and off all week - I'm not really worried about him as he has had a flu-type virus all week and I think it's just down to that.
However one thing led to another and before I knew it I was reading all about headaches and strokes and then aneurysms...I always thought and people always told me that aneurysms are rare, but it said on this site that 1 in 100 people have them! That is not particularly rare I don't think.
I have migraines occasionally and am worried now that this means i'm more at risk - does anyone know if they run in families? I dont have any family members who have had one burst or anything, or who have had a stroke.
I'm wondering if I should have a CT scan now just to see if I have one just in case.
Am grateful for anyone who answers as I'm extremely scared now :(
