I cut out all artificial sweeteners. You MUST do this. Then I realized that my mouthwash contained a variant of saccharin(worst of all the fake sugars) in it. I stopped using it and all symptoms stopped.

I've had 24/7 migraines for almost 3 years. I've been diagnosed with a 3.5 cm brain aneurysm. Do you think that an aneurysm that small could be causing my migraines? I cannot exercise at all. Even walking in a store too long, my migraines can get far worse.
Hi,
How are you? Exertion headaches usually present with generalized head pain of during or following physical exertion such as running, jumping, or even sexual intercourse. It can also occur in passive exertion like sneezing, coughing or bowel movement. majority of these headaches are related to migraine or cluster headaches. If it persists, you may need to have this checked by a neurologist to rule out possible organic diseases like aneurysms, tumors, or blood vessel malformation. Diagnostic tests like imaging studies may also be indicated. At this point try to avoid physical activity that could trigger the headaches. Take care and do keep us posted.
Did they check your spinal pressure or any other thing to rule out a csf leak? Maybe the blood patch did not hold? A CT scan by itself won't show a leak. That' just jumps out at me given your history. But you might have migraines of another type of headache that could benefit from seeing a headache specialist to 1. identify the type and 2. do a treatment plan.
Headaches are no fun. I've had one for six plus years because of a csf leak. Thankfully my pain is well managed for the most part.
