I'am 47, I had a Brain aneurysm in 2002, they did surgery and took it out. I suffer from short term memory loss, and few little things but I can live with these. Now seven years later I had like the most painful headache in my life and somehow drove to my family Doctors office and they gave me a shot of torradol and called an ambulance for me to take me to the hospital.
They did a CTA and found that I have a start to another aneurysm, this one is right by my carrodid artery, in the front of my ear on the right side.
Can anyone give me any advise, insight anything?

Thank You

WELCOME,

I'M 47 ALSO. JUST FOUND OUT I HAVE A UNRUPTURED ANNIE IN MY BASILAR ARTERY TIP . I GO TO THE DOCTOR TOMORROW. I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY. MAYBE IT WILL HELP YOU. I'M SCARED ALSO. I HAVE HYRDROCEPHALUS TOO. JUST FOUND THAT OUT A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. DO YOU HAVE A NEUROSURGEON? I HAVE BAD HEADACHES ON MY LEFT SIDE. I HOPE YOU FIND OUT SOMETHING SOON. I'M NEW AT ALL OF THIS, BUT HERE TO LISTEN IF YOU NEED TO TALK.

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I also have one treated and one untreated aneursym. Be sure to have your surgeon explain all your options to you and why he recomends any specific action. My untreated aneursym is 10mm & on the carotid behind my eye. Since my carotid aneursym is located where it probably won't cause a stroke if it ruptures, I have no symptoms, and there were complications after my clipping I just am having it monitored to make sure it's not growing. At first I thought about it all the time. Now I rarely do. Of course I'm not going around lifting heavy weights. They say an aneursym has about a one in hundred chance of rupturing a year. I figure if I live another 33 yrs that's a 1 in 3 chance?? I'll rethink things if I start having pain or it grows. They found my aneursyms after I had a MRI for facial drooping which ended up being Bell's Palsey. Was your headache due to this second aneursym? Do you still have pain? Is your aneursym well away from your brain? Let us know what you find out. They found my brain aneursym right after carotid while I was still in shock over learning about the first one. It must really stink to go years and then find another one popped up. Anyway go armed to the doctor with questions. It is always easier to deal with things once you know where you stand. Big Hug............Sarah
