Aneurysms in the family, will I need screening?

Aneurysms in the family, will I need screening?

Both my brothers had a ruptured brain aneurysm this month. My older brother had a larger one earlier this month, he has a one-sided paralysis and is still receiving rehab. My younger brother had a smaller bleeding this past week, he had some weakness, but they resolved and he is now home again. I am wondering if I am also at risk of getting an aneurysm, and if it would be helpful to get myself screened.

I would say you should deffinately be screened.  It is important if there is a close family history such as yours.  I would just to be on the safe side.  Praise God that your brothers made it....
