concern
i just have one question. i have anxiety and i have been convinced for the last month or so that i was going to have a brain aneurysm. my question is this i have neither of these things
family history
high blood pressure
low blood pressure
asthma
atherclerosis
or any other heart or blood conditions that can affect my blood vessels
i dont smoke
drink or have sex ever( im only 17)
or take drugs
i suppose i could eat healthier and exercise more but other than that im in perfect health. is there any possiblity that i can develop an aneurysm.
i do get sensations in my head like pressure, dripping feeling, and crawling/tingling, and the occasional burning sensation. or any of these concerns. I also have numbness and weakness in my hands and feet sometimes. but i believe this is from my anxiety. if you have any suggestions please respond i could really use the reassurance.
