head pain and aneurysms

Several months ago, the left side of my forehead itched. Upon scratching it, I experienced severe pain in my head. The pain stopped when I didn't touch it. Needless to say, I have avoided touching that area

Then, the sensitive spot moved slightly toward the right side of my forehead. Over the past few months, it has continued to slowly move across my forehead, until it is now on the right side of my forehead.

In addition, I have begun experiencing mild to severe headaches, with sensivity to light. Taking Ibuprophen somewhat dulls the pain, but never completely stops it.

I have been researching these symptoms and have begun to suspect an aneurysm. Are these symptoms consistent with that diagnosis?

I wouldn't attempt to diagnose any new head pain on your own. An MRI would rule out an aneurysm or other organic causes. Make an apt. a.s.a.p. so you know if it's nothing, or something that needs treatment.
