What Are The Sign And Symptoms Of Aneurysm?
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.

Hello,
thank you for your question, first sorry for your loss, secondly your anxiety is understandable since you just lost a friend which makes you concerned. aneurysm is usually diagnosed once it ruptures, meaning usually it causes no symptoms until it ruptures. how long does it take for it to form? there are congenital types which are there once the baby is born, and might take 20 years until it ruptures. Also since you had a MRI lately you dont have to worry about yourself. So please after reading this post i hope you will relax and not worry.
please rate as 5 stars if you found this post helpful.
best regards,
Dr. Nazzal
