Hello! for the past going on two weeks i have had a headache, that is bad at times and at others seems better. is this likely to be a leak from possible aneurysm? no other symptoms.can pain vary?

Least likely cause: Aneurysm is unlikely cause of a headache lasting so long. Any other symptoms? Visual problems?Balance? Speech? Headache lasting that long needs to be evaluated by a doctor.

Not likely: Aneurysm headaches tend to be very severe and unrelenting, meaning they don't get better then worse then better. The headache you are describing could be caused by any number of things. If you've had it this long, it's time to see your doctor for a diagnosis. Yes, pain can vary even in serious conditions so don't let that fake you out.
