Hello,
aneurysms at a very young age may be associated with a family history, illicit drug use, severe hypertension or congenital disease (like polycystic kidney disease). It would be very uncommon for the average 23 year old individual to have an aneurysm.
Unless you've got headaches that:
- wake you at night or are more severe when you first get up from bed
- are accompanied by nausea and vomiting
- are accompanied by neurological symptoms like muscle weakness or altered senses
you don't have to worry too much. I'm sure your doctor would have informed you accordingly if there was any suspicion of a serious cause for your headaches, so that you could act urgently.
I hope I've helped!
You can contact me again, if you'd like to ask more questions about this subject.
Kind Regards!
