Unlikely!: Although one would expect some tenderness at the site of a injured blood vessel, it should remain superficial and not cause any pain in the head proper. If your CT was of the head and is Neg. and the headaches continue, one should follow up with their physician and /or see a Neurologist. Good luck.

Question 3

Get it CHECKED OUT: If pain in a limb is affecting your ability to use that arm - it definitely could be nerve related or other things.  The only way to know for sure is to start with your family doc, who will do a thorough history and physical, probably with some basic xrays of the neck and shoulder/arm and possibly refer for neuro testing or to see an orthopedist or neurologist.

Question 4

how dangerous is a burst vessel in the macula?

Accepted Answer

Could be bad: This wouldn't be good for vision. Vessels don't often burst in the macula, but if they did the blood could damage the delicate photoreceptors and can vision loss.  We most often see bleeding in the retina in diabetes or uncontrolled hypertension and in people with very poor blood flow to the eye from carotid stenosis.  You can also see it in trauma, including crush trauma to the torso.

Question 5

if you had a blood vessel that burst, would you feel it?

Accepted Answer

More than likely: If a small blood vessel bursts in your eye, you might not feel it.  I have bursts in your brain, you might not feel it, but you would certainly feel the effects of it.  If you bursts in your leg, you are likely to feel it and also feel the bruise you get from having a blood vessel break.

Question 10

please tell me, could a burst blood vessel be recurring?

Accepted Answer

Yes/No: Spider veins in the legs are a common source of spontaneous bleeding, especially when one is heated as with exercise, or taking a hot bath/shower.  These can be injected (sclerotherapy) for relief, and more importantly, evaluation of the leg veins with ultrasound is indicated.  Should there be axial venous reflux, this can be easily fixed.  See www.Phlebology.Org and visit a phlebologist.
