About 7 months ago he started to have very bad headaches that persisted most of the day. Recently his mouth has been filling with blood but the doctor doesn't seem to know where it is coming from. I am so concerned and want to know everything about this condition so we know how to deal with it.
Thank you

Please use force to get the mri/mra's done as soon as possible. I don't know where you live, but I had my ct scan which showed something? My Primary care physician called me the same day and said you need to get an mri/mra done asas, I called and told them I needed it done very quickly and it was done in the same week, with our insurance comanys approval. In one week I saw two brain specialist, and had clipping of a 12 mm posterior aneurysm done, This was just this July, I am back to work, no problems so far, just can't lift anything over ten lbs or ride rollercoasters. If an aneurysm is suspected, then please get help quickly, if it is bleeding into the brain this is very serious. THe blood in the mouth I don't think can be associated, its more the headaches, dizziness, numbness in limbs that are associated. I had none of those I had just a slight dizzieness and some deja vu feelings along with mine.
