Default Popping in Temple: Is this an aneurysm?

Hi.. umm I'm a hypochondriac, so anytime I feel pain or weird feelings in my head I call 911 or go to the hospital. They either check me out with a CT scan or shoo me away telling me I don't have one. HOWEVER today was different sensation than any of them and I can't calm down because I keep thinking it might have been an aneurysm that popped but clotted or something and it's gonna rupture again and kill me...

I was sitting at KFC with my friend talking when suddenly I had a pop in my temple. I felt it, heard it, and it echoed. It didn't feel like any normal pop. It felt like an elastic band snapping, almost what I'd think a vein popping would feel like.It had a slight pain to it but nothing serious. Immediately I freaked out and asked my friend to drive me to the fire station. This was around 7pm...

I freaked out at the fire station but they took my vitals and said they don't think it was an aneurysm that I'm fine and don't need to go the the hospital.

Now it's 5am and I'm still freaking out thinking any second now my life could be over.

I NEED TO KNOW is this an aneurysm? Can anything else pop like that in the temple in that feeling? I'm deathly scared >.<

Hi there

I am sorry that you have had such a fright. It must have been very scary for you not knowing what caused your symptoms.

I am not a doctor, and I don't know what caused the noise that you heard (or saying that it wasn't what you have been thinking) .....but.....when an aneurysm bursts, most people describe it as the worst headache they ever had (or even imagined) in their life - sometimes accompanied by visual disturbances, extreme nausea, vomiting, confusion, dizziness, loss of consciousness, loss of speech and sometimes loss of bowel/bladder function.

Of course, anything out of the ordinary needs to be checked out, and it will set your mind at rest. Do you have a family history of aneurysms? That doesn't necessarily matter, but something else to consider.

Hopefully the 'pop' was something simple like some fluid in your Eustachian tubes (ear canal) - that can make a popping noise, or a fuzzy kind of static of short-circuiting sound.

Get it checked and let me know how you get on.

Regards

Did you ever have this checked out? I too have experienced this same exact feeling. I consider myself a hypochondriac as well but I dont run to the dr. I keep it all in. I have had that snapping feeling for years but recently I have had very frequent. Im scared.
