Anxiety of a Brain Aneurysm, Help!

I can relate to you. I've been having this for about 2 months now and its the worse. I've been to the ER 2 times and had a CT and MRI both came back good. I've gone to the ENT, cardiologist, and GP. The only place I havent been is neuro which I'm thinking about going to next. I just get headaches every single day with the weirdest eye pain that can't really describe. The doctor said I have SVT but that's it. I just want it to end. 

Hello

You should try and take some reassurance that your scans have been clear. I suffer with dreadful headaches. Mine feel like sinus headaches, in my eyes and a horrible pressure on the bride of my nose. I want lti chop my head off some days. I had a cat scan which showed some damage to my sinuses but he then diagnosed me with migraine headaches. Yours does sound like a tension headache as you sat your neck hurts. When I'm stressed I hunch my shoulders up and I don't even realise I'm doing it! The stress on my neck then causes a headache. paracetamol doesn't help. The pain is so bad my eyes water! It drains me. Sometimes I find if I can have a nap that helps but if not I just have to ride it out. I can have it for weeks. Have you had blood tests to rule out vitamin deficiencies? Low iron can cause headaches.

Its easy to say but try and relax your body. Take a warm bath or have a shoulder massage. I am on amitriptyline for my headaches but I think I need to up the dose. Just remember you're not alone. I went through a dreadful time when I was 17 thinking I was dieing because my headache was so bad but you learn what triggers them and most importantly to try and relax your body.

I have this too. More often on the right side of my head and eye. I get a pain in the neck too again on the right. I often feel lightheaded and sometimes really woozy as if I’ve been to the funfair! I had this really bad 2 years ago. Had an mri which was fine and the consultant just said I was too sensitised so feel everything 10 times more than the average person. It went away after a few months of taking citalipram. I can off this 9 months ago and in October, the dizzy spells and head pressure came back. I feel terrible again but really reluctant to go back on the meds. 

I also get a feeling like my circulation in my head starts to cut off, at one point i woke up and the left side of my head was numb like when your arm falls asleep, very weird, but I guess it could be from the way I was sleeping. These headaches are just dull and very aggravating, I have tried citalopram and it had a bad effect on my attitude, so I decided to try something else, i just want assurance that I am okay, the doctors and the CT scans say I am....

Amitriptyline is a muscle relaxent. I was prescribed them years ago for migraines but didn't want to take them but gave in and tried them a few months back. I hate taking medication and try to avoid it if I can.

I use to have this same problem. Googled "brain aneurysm" & had an immediate panic attack. I kept having sharp shooting head pains & they were excruciating, also accompanied my nausea & blurred vision. However, they were just migranes. You behave to stop worrying. It isn't going to do any good, just bad. You HAVE to take control of you're thoughts. Even if there was something wrong with you (which it isnt), you still have control on how you deal with it. Try to channel your thoughts in another direction & you'll be fine.

If you’ve got something wrong then we all have I think! 

It’s just hard! I deal with it 24/7 it wakes me up in the middle of the night, but you all are right, if the CT scans and blood test are clear then there is really nothing to worry about? You can have chronic migraines all the time. What i think could be one of my problems is i have suffered 4 concussions when i was younger, don’t know if it’s catching up to me now...

Yu have many tests and now awaiting a further MRI, the problem with that is the number of tests you are having, there is an element of risk if you keep having them so you need to trust your GP and Specialists when they give you clear results and move on. I would say with reservation you are suffering an Anxiety and you will eventually need to come to terms with that.

You have been diagnosed with chronic Migraine I would run to that and get some medication. That may help your other problems

Ask you’re doctor about having an MRA  which is specific to the blood vessels in the body.  It’s highly detailed images can detect aneurysms.

I doubt it’s aneurysm.  I would think if it was in aneurysm, something would’ve happened by now. I just mentioned that test in case you wanted further testing  for your peace of mind .
