Default Family history, now about me

Hi all, just wanting some advice/experiences please

I am a almost 33 year old women with essential hypertension on medication since age 19.

My mother died at age 34 from a ruptured cerebral aneursym, she also had esssential hypertension.

Since then a my mother brother (my uncle) has had mutliple cerebral aneurysm clipped and recently died in his early 40's from a hemorrhage.

I last had a CT angiogram with dye done 4 years ago which was normal.

I have been expriencing in the last few weeks on/off a pain behind my right on. It is mostly every day or second day and only last for about 30 mins. I have also experienced 2 migraines in the past two weeks that I have never had before, one requiring a trip to the emergency department.

I am having another CT angio done in 6 days. Is it possible to have had the all clear 4 years ago and now there be something?

Could these symtptoms be indicative of concern?

Thanks so much

Sandy
