How Long Does It Take For An Aneurysm To Form?
I'm a 22 year old female, to say I'm a bit of a hypochondriac/worry wart woud be an understatement..I have a friend who's just 24 yrs old who passed away two nights ago due to an aneurysm. I'm not worrying and it's causing me so much anxiety I'm losing sleep. I've been suffering from chronic headaches for 2 years, and I had an MRI about 4-6 months ago and it came back normal. My question is; how long does it take an aneurysm to form? I know I'm over analyzing and thinking way too much into it. But I'm losing sleep over it, and I'm really concerned.

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
Aneurism in abdomen ,if you talk about this, forms usually in older age and during 10 years,usually starts in 40and 50. Aneurism in brain is something else and it may be seen in younger people and no signs may predispose. However, if MRi showed no aneurism then there is no some risk that it may grow in future so you should not worry.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
