Hi Sandy,

With your family history, you should see a neurologist. It's good you're on blood pressure meds but maybe they need adjusting too?

My sister died at age 37 from a brain aneurysm. Her blood pressure wasn't controlled well enough and she'd gone through terrible stress before she died which I believe led to her illness.

I used to get bad headaches that would sometimes last for weeks. I eventually developed high blood pressure as well so I take meds for it now.

I get MRI's frequently so I assume those would show an aneurysm? Not sure though.

Anyway, I'm glad you're taking steps to avoid the same problem as your Mom and brother. Check back in and let me know how it's going.
