Aneurysm :: Chronic Derealization - Head Pressure Numbness / Constantly Dizzy
I have had derealization, head pressure numbness, constantly dizzy and at night bright lights are very blurry and bright with halo around them, I have had a couple headaches also, this all started after doing a very heavy weight lifting exercise call deadlifts, ever since then I have had derealization 24 7 along with all the other symptom besides headaches I have had 2 so far, I have been like this for half a year 6 months my worst feeling is the derealization, I feel as if nothing around me is real like I'm in a cartoon and it gives you a spacey dumb feeling, I have natural high blood pressure and was taking creatin while working out maybe I caused a anyresum in my brain that deals with reality perception.

I suffer from chronic headaches and have done for over 15 years. I am on amitriptyline, citalopram and diclofenac, all of which I've been on for several years. I think my headaches are depression/anxiety related. Over the past year my job has changed and I've been finding it very difficult to cope. I've also been having relationship difficulties with my girlfriend and I think we are probably going to split up. I have been off sick for 2 weeks and my headaches will not go away. I can't sleep and this makes it worse. The headache has been really bad now for about 2 months and is showing no signs of lessening. I find it extremely difficult to function at the moment. The headaches make me feel exhausted.I am really anxious I will loose my job and not be able to pay our mortgage, loose my house and my girlfriend. I know I am catastrophizing and full of negative thoughts but I don't seem to be able to manage them.

My mom had been complaining of back pain for the past few months and was taking Robaxacet to fix the pain and it seemed to work ,she called it the miracle pill. Unfortunately and of me telling her to go get it checked out ,she did not and now has passed away and will be missed dearly and she was such a beautiful lady . She just turned 72 in Oct. Within 40 mins, she passed away and we found out today from the coroner that she passed away from a ruptured aortic aneurysm and he said that she went very fast and did not feel any pain and even if she was at hospital there was nothing that could have been done. I will miss her dearly and it is so painful because it is so unexpected and so sudden. I regret not pushing her more to go get her back checked out because they might have found the aneurysm and been able to fix it. I have just looked for the first time since I found out earlier exactly what it meant that she passed away from and the coroner said she would not have felt anything ,it would have just been like falling asleep and that has made me feel abit better because she was alone and I hate the thought that she died alone. I just wish she would have gotten her back checked out and then they would have found this and maybe saved her life and fixed it. She seemed to also ,for the past months have a hard time going shopping and being on her feet for to long , she would sort of burn out faster than normal and she was seeing her doctor because she was diagnosed with borderline diabetes and had 2 months to lose abit of weight and change her eating habits, she did everything she was suppose to and the doctor never picked up on this and this is something I do not understand because she had so many different bloodwork done for this and other things and is it possible that this was overlooked because I was also told that she had a lot of plaque and her cholesterol and was on medication for that. I don't understand why this was not found at all. With the high cholesterol why wouldn't a chest xray been done to make sure her heart was ok and also her aorta? If anyone has any kind of answer to my questions it would be much appreciated and comforting to know , anything about this and why it was not found. I loved her dearly ,she was my best friend ,my confidant and I will miss her so much, my life has changed drastically over this and I will never be the same person I was 3 days ago.
View 37 RepliesHeadache :: Tension Headache/prednisolone
I'm 27y,male,weight 44kg. I've started to have headache after having a very tough semester at college 2 months back and it become worse 2 weeks back when i visited a neurologist who diagnosed me with "tension headache".
He prescribed me a cortisone injection in addition to 9 days of prednisolone (3 days 60mg, 3 days 40mg, 3 days 20mg).
The tension headache has gone, however, I still have headache on the sides of my head and behind my eyes, some pressure in my ears sometimes.
During my prednisolone course,I had severe depression, mood changes, anxiety (i couldn't sleep), sweating & lose of appetite. (I didn't have any history with these weird side effects)
Now, it's day 6 after stopping the prednisolone and i still have some depression/worried but i think i'm getting better day after the other.
My questions:
1. How long does it take for Prednisolone to clear out from my system?
2. Since tension headache has gone, why am I'm still having headache (sides of head,behind eyes & sometimes pressure in ears).
Anxiety Of Having An Aneurysm
So scared of having an aneurysm.
I've had pains in the back of my neck and around my head with some face tingling and numbness I can't stop touching my face and head I've also had pain on top off my head and it feels warm and I still have the water rippling feeling at the back of my nose I feel all over like i'm just going to collapse I'm so scared and I don't know what to do.
Aneurysm Or Migraine?
As of late I have been suffering with a multitude of symptoms, starting about 4 months ago with stiff neck. From there it progressed to chronic "brain fog" (or feeling like I had one too many beers) sinus pressure, now a 4 day "head ache" on my left temple, behind and above left eye and left side of neck. The pressure is insane, I went to the doctor about it yesterday and she told me to just take an antihistamine and get massage. I have seen a neurologist for the brain fog and have an MRI schedule but not until September. I am due to go away in a week to work at a camp for 3 weeks and wondering if this pressure persists if I should go to the ER before I go away to get checked. My name sister died from a brain aneurysm and so I am nervous I have one! Any info or advice would be helpful. Oh I also have had stomach pains like dull ache, my eyes are also sore but I got t eyes tested and they are fine a little dry that's all.
I should also mention I just had a baby 6 months ago.
I May Have A Brain Aneurysm
I am 18 years old and it pretty good health. I do have an anxiety disorder and OCD.I am on medication for this. I would like some opinions please. No rude comments please.
I have this fear that I may have a brain aneurysm. I don't have any specific reason that I think this but the fear is starting to take over my life. I cant even focus at work because I worry so much. I just recently moved into a new apartment and i have been under a lot of stress. I was sick about a week ago with a common cold, runny nose, headache, watery eyes, sneezing. After i was getting pain in my head and my eyes from my cold I started worrying about my brain again, I had a headache today but ibuprofen took it away very quickly. I don't have vision problems or dizziness. I stay awake most nights googling signs and symptoms and then I convince myself that I may have it. I can barely sleep because I am so scared that I won't wake up. This is really starting to take over my life. What should I do? & Do you think I have an aneurysm?
I Have A Brain Aneurysm
I found out on Tuesday that I have a 7mm focal aneurysm of the distal right internal carotid artery, mild mass effect on my right optic nerve, displacing it medially.
My surgeon wants to do a procedure where a platinum coil is inserted through the groin. He says he won't know if I will need a stint until he is in the operating room. I had an voluntary MRA. My mother died from a rupture in 1979. I am 58 years old.
Do platinum coils react with electromagnetic fields and cause migraine headaches?

View 4 RepliesAnxiety :: Afraid Of An Aneurysm
I know i am irrational a lot of the time, but i'm afraid of an aneurysm. Ok so a few days ago i felt this pain in my neck (right side) and idk if it was muscle pain, but it seemed that whenever i did turn my head to the right it would hurt a little bit more. I was feeling it for maybe 2 days. Now I feel a pain in my forehead (right side). I woke this morning and it started maybe 15 mins after i woke up (it did not wake me up from my sleep). Its on and off now. What can this be? Is it a regular headache?
My blood pressure is normal. It does feel like my eyes are sensitive to the brightness, for the past few days. I'm not congested or anything. No nausea, no weakness, i do feel a little lightheaded.
my anxiety is not making anything better.
Massive Undiagnosed Aneurysm
I know a worker that suffered a massive undiagnosed aneurysm at work. Can the chemicals she was using trigger this aneurysm? I am suspicious because this sudden, unexpected death was not reported.
View 1 RepliesAortic Aneurysm :: 5 Cm Near Heart
Two day before Christmas, I was diagnosed with a 5 cm aneurysm near my heart and told, "If it's not repaired, it will burst and you will die". The NHS cardiologist had only just seen my file and met me, 5 minute before that. He also stated that if my valve is bicuspid, they need to replace it and repair the aneurysm now. So I've been waiting for either a tube down my throat, or an MRI to get a clearer picture. So far, I've only received a phone call, from that Cardiologist, on New Years eve, saying the Tube test should be end of Jan, beginning of March, but the MRI will be scheduled in the interim.
I'm originally from America, where my possible bicuspid valve was monitored yearly with echos. I've been here in the UK just over 4 years and only ONCE did a Dr. so much as listen to my heart, until they thought I had a TIA.
Is this typical of the NHS? Give you bad news, then make you wait?? Some say I need to go to my GP and see if they can refer me to another place to get the tests done...others say, play up your symptoms. I am somewhat symptomatic, but so far, I still walk a mile to the bus every morning, and work a 40 hour work week.
Aneurysm :: Leg Pain And Possible Blood Clot
About a week ago I started having pain in my right ankle, it felt cold at first then stiff pain. Over the week the pain has been going up my leg to my thigh. Last night while lying down I had a sudden, crampy pain in my right calf that wouldn't go away and I noticed a bulge had appeared. Circled on my leg.
[URL]..... I'm flexing my calf in the image so it's more prominent. I don't see anything like that on my other leg. walking around today, I can feel my leg is kind of stiff as is my ankle. Could it be a blood clot? or is it just a muscle?

Recovery After Aortic Aneurysm Operation
My fiance, had a check up at the doctors to see if he had an enlarged aneurysm, he had, unbeknown to him, no pain no symptoms of any kind, a very fit and active man at the age of 65. December 12th diagnosed, operated on 1st February 2007. It was as you can imagine a big shock to the both of us obviously him more than me. He was advised to stop smoking which he did the day before the op was given cholesterol lowering tablets and told to exercise, walking up and down stairs, up and down the garden just as much as he could manage. We did not have a computer when he had his op so the only information we had was from the hospital which was reasonably informative but it did not say how /what problems would occur after the op! The surgeon explained it would take between 3 and 6 months for him to start feeling better. Well we are now 7 months down the line and he still gets tired and twinges as he puts it in his abdomen, the doctors say its due to the nerve endings repairing themselves. I personally would advise any wife or girlfriend with a man over toe age of 60 to get a scan, plus we were told it can be genetic so if he has brothers get them to check as well. It has been a ver traumatic time for us both, he is now on the road to full recovery and I'm glad to have him back.
