Help please.

I have read so many sites that are basically telling me I'm going to have a brain aneurysm. First off I'd like to start by saying I had an MRI on my brain back in september..it came out completely normal. I still can't help but worry that I have developed an aneurysm since then..and I'm scared to get another mri..even though I am scared not to. But I read so many sites say that..if you have different types of headaches that you are not used to having you should be worried about a brain aneurysm. They also described the areas where I have been having my headaches. They also said if you have headaches in the morning could be a sign. They also told me smoking was the number one cause of an aneurysm I am a smoker..but I am addicted and it's hard to quit. But yet I keep thinking I have given my self a brain aneurysm from it even though I have only been smoking for a year, they also said women are twice as likely to get one as men and I am a woman. Some sites say that aneurysms are rare and others say they are not. It seems like the only things in my favor here are my age , the fact I've never had any traumatic head injuries..and the fact that I have no family history of aneurysms. Somebody help here please.

Also I've been taking BC powder for my headaches and they used to help but now they won't. This scares me.

If you don't mind me asking. How old are you markus2k? And what was it like when you had the aneurysm?

[markus2k]

I had an anyurism about 5 years ago. I was under the impression that being under 25 years old they are almost completely random. (Even as a Smoker) If you are having strange new headaches ask your doctor if you may have some sort of migraine headaches.

Hi there. Should I assume that your symptoms are a new onset headache?  There can be many causes of headache, hypertension, stress, lack of sleep, hypoglycemia, chronic headaches related to syndromes like migraine, cluster and tension, a space occupying lesion if headache is accompanied with seizure, nausea or weakness of limb, ruptured cerebral aneurysm not unruptured. Unruptured aneurysm usually remains asymptomatic and is an accidental discovery on an MRI or after rupture.
Consult your neurologist if these possibilities could be ruled out in you. Take care.
