at the back of my lhead, which I take one 81 mm aspirin daily. I just took my blood pressure and it is 148-94, pulse 74

Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

First of all, I would like to reassure you that your symptoms do not suggest any serious neurological illness. The symptoms are related to psychological stress, that developed after the major confrontation with your husband. I hope both of you would be able to sort out your differences amicably.

Small aneurysms are not of any concern, and can be left alone. Aspirin is also safe in your case.

I hope it helps.

Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
