For the past year or so especailly I have
had this small pain in my head and it
comes and goes but it doesn't last long at
all. Sometimes it feels like it could be
behind the eye but it's hard to tell
exactly where. Anyway I've heard that it
could be a result of a brain aneurysm and
just wondering if anyone has had this
happen to them. I do have pressure in my
head often but think that it is from sinus
pressure from allergies. I don't really
know if it's much to go to the doctor
about. I am at the computer often in dim
lights and think it could just be eye
strain. I appreciate in info on this
subject at all.

A headache from an aneurysm is due to the
rupture of the aneurysm and is the
commonly referred to by the patient as
"the worst headache of my life". The onset
is sudden and is usually accompanied by
vomiting and in some cases may lead to
losing consciousness.. The headache will
persist despite any pain medication given.
A ruptured aneurysm is a medical emergency
and requires immediate attention and
surgery. A CT without contrast dye is the
diagnostic test to confirm the diagnosis
of a ruptured aneurysm.
You do not have a ruptured aneurysm. You
would not be on your computer if you did.
I think you are right that the pressure
you are experiencing is from allergies.
Have you tried using Claritin or Zyrtec to
treat the headaches? You may want to try
that.
