Doctors told her a couple of weeks ago that she has an Aneurysm and it's pressing on a nerve so the Aneurysm is causing the nosebleeds and by pressing on the nerve that is what's causing the headaches, they have no explanation for the high blood pressure spike issue which is now happening more frequently, almost on a weekly basis so it's getting worse. Thing is the Docs told her it's too dangerous for them to attempt moving the Aneurysm away from the nerve in case it should explode, they are telling her that best they can do is to shoot some sort of chemical to the blood vessel in question to "harden" it to try to prevent it from exploding so this may help the nosebleeds but nothing they can do about the headaches unless they 'try" to come up with some medication for the headaches.

I am telling her to seek another opinion to see if there are any other alternatives, even if other docs agree they cannot operate I am still seeking other options which may help her, can anyone PLEASE offer any suggestions or leads please? Thanks.
