Weird.Localized.Head.Pains.from.Anxiety?

Alright..so.I.suffer.from.Anxiety.Disorder.Pretty.darn.severe.these.days.and.I.have.a.weird.obsession.about.
Brain.
Aneurysm.I.have.a.weird.feeling...almost.constantly.that.I'm.going.to.have.one.
I.get.these.weird.head.pains.A.lot.of.the.time.they're.in.the.same.spot...Not.constant.just.
randomly.
But.there.is.one.little.little.spot.on.my.scalp.that.keeps.bothering.me.It's.a.tiny.little.spot.
It.drives.me.crazy.I.obsess.over.it...it.doesn't.even.really.hurt.it's.just.irritating.and.enough.to.
make.me.
worry.about.
an.aneurysm.I.know.I.probably.have.no.reason.to.worry.I.know.that.most.Aneurysm.are.
Hereditary..
and.with.that..I.have.no.known.family.members.that.have.had.one.So.there's.that...I.also.
know.that.
other.people.that.are.prone.to.having.an.Aneurysm.are.people.that.are.older.I'm.only.21.
years.old.
Also.people.
with.high.cholesterol.as.well.as.high.blood.pressure.I.do.not.have.any.problems.with.
either.
I.don't.even.get.headaches..which.I.know.is.another.symptom.I.know.it's.sudden.and.i'd.
probably.be.dead.by.now.
I.know.I.know..but.I.still.get.scared.and.my.Fiance.doesn't.understand.I.hate.being
.like.this..but.the.thought.
of.not.knowing.and.being.completely.out.of.controlled.which.I.understand.is.
just.the.way.things.are.sometimes..
I'm.scared.
So.ive.done.some.research.on.the.issue..obviously.and.I.was.wanting
.to.know.if.anyone.else.here.has.had.the.pains.
in.head.deal.Have.you.thought.about.the.whole.Brain.Aneurysm.deal?
Probably.not.hey..
But.if.you.have.please.help.me.out..this.causing.many.bad.bad.anxiety.
attacks..and.I.could.really.do.without.
the.thought.of.sudden.Aneurysm.dealio.It's.kind.of.taking.over.my.life.
and.I.don't.want.that..
another.thing.is.that.my.doctor.doesn't.feel.the.need.to.do.a.CT.Scan.
or.anything..and.I.could.get.one.just.to.
make.sure..but.I'd.have.to.pay..and.god.knows.I.don't.have.that.money.
Okay.thank.you.:)

Just on the off chance that your user name has anything at all to do with certain, ah, er, personal habits........your paranoia COULD possibly be a by-product of that. Just a wee after-thought.

You may not have a space bar, but your "period" key certainly works well. Jasus!
Since you have seen your doctor about this and he/she feels there is no need for further testing, stay off the damn symptom sites and go outside and play.
You are young and healthy and have no reason to suspect an aneurysm and I truly hesitate to tell you the symptoms of the various types. But since you did not mention a single one of these symptoms, I will write them in hopes that it will FINALLY convince you that you DO NOT have one.

THORACIC (chest) aneurysm produces pain in the chest, neck, back and abdomen. The pain may be sudden and sharp. It also causes hoarseness and swallowing difficulty.

ABDOMINAL aneurysm produces back pain, often very severe, appetite and weight loss and a pulsating mass in the abdomen.

Aneurysms in a LEG artery causes poor circulation in the leg, with weakness and pallor or swelling and bluish color. A pulsating mass may appear in the groin or behind the knee.

An aneurysm in a BRAIN artery produces headaches (often throbbing), weakness, paralysis or numbness, pain behind the eye, vision change or partial blindness and unequal pupils. A brain aneurysm may be present for many years without producing symptoms.

And aneurysm in a HEART muscle causes heartbeat irregularities and symptoms of congestive heart failure.

You have NONE of these symptoms, so why are you freaking yourself out about it?  
In my humble, totally non-medical opinion, you have a VERY heavy duty case of health anxiety/hypochondria, and since your doctor has already cleared you physically, it's time to seek some psychological help. Your doctor should be able to refer you to someone.
Please talk to your doctor soon so you can begin to get your life back.
Peace
