headache pain and aneurysms?

[Mels22]

Ok I NEED answers and if anyone has any, I would greatly appreciate it!  I have had headaches for 11 days now.  I am taking topomax and it doesn't seem to be doing anything.  I am extremely fatigued.  I sleep like 12 hours a night and then take several naps.  I am a 26 year old female otherwise in good health.  I do have anxiety and tend to think the worst so thats why I wanted others opinions.  I have a baby to think about so I really need to get better.  I had a CT, MRI/MRA on Oct 31st of 2006 that were clear but did show chronic sinusitis.  I have called my neurologist and she didn't seem too concerned...I have an appt. next week.  She did a BAER test yesterday which I'm not really sure what that will do.  I have also had ear fullness and ringing in my right ear for a week now.  My right ear has regular tinnitis and pulsatile tinnitis.  I read somewhere that sudden tinnitis can be something like an aneursym or something.  Do you think thats what it is?  I also recently (2 days ago) developed pain behind and directly above my eyes - very painful!  I also have a lot of pressure in the front of my head by my eyes - like a band of pressure.  My questions are...
Do you think that anuerysms can develop that fast if my tests were clear 2 1/2 months ago?  What else could it be?  Should I seek ER tests soon?  I'm very worried and any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thank you and God bless!

Dear Friend,
  Please be advised that my response to you is not professional, is not medical advice, is educational, and that I am not a representative of MEDHELP.
  With that stated I see actually a possibly simple answer and that would be sinus induced tension headaches. MRI studies would have caught an anuer, et al, possible causes.
  I am sorry that I could not be more helpful, but I think that the answer is probably viral/sinus/tension head ache.

Good Luck!

I really wouldn't freak out too much about an aneurysm with a recent clean MRI. People do get these long lasting headaches, especially with an aggravating factor like sinusitis. Did you try using nasal washes? The other day I had a lot of pain/pressure especially behind the eyes. Maybe the cold weather. Hopefully the Topamax and antibiotic will kick in. Are you taking painkillers/Triptans?

I have no final diagnosis as yet.  Your son is in the hospital????  That sounds serious!  How scary for you.  I'm very sorry.  I called the neurologist yesterday and she seems to think it is migraines and chronic sinusitis.  I'm on antibiotics. I have an appt. with her next week so we'll see.  Has your son had an MRI or CT to rule out anything serious like aneurysm or brain tumor?  It could be pseudotumor cerebri which is something else she is considering for me.  Keep me posted and let me know how its going.  Good luck and hopefully we'll all get answers soon!
