Headaches new?: If these headaches are unusual for you, which would suggest that they may be related to the aneurysm, might they be a reason to move you higher on the list? There are probably some people on the list whose aneurysm was discovered by screening tests, who are having no symptoms at all. Walk, but don't strain heavily.

Yes: Walking your dog at a mild pace will help relieve stress and calm you which can reduce blood pressure while you wait. There is no advantage to just lying there waiting to have the aneurysm coiled and mild exercise will be beneficial. You will want to avoid moderate and high intensity routines however.

Chances on your side: Chances are on your side. Anxiety, understandably, is a significant issue that accompanies a diagnosis of a brain aneurysm. You should continue to do most activities you are used to, including exercise but with gradual warmup. Please refer to the brain aneurysm center for women at www.Chicagoaneurysm.Com for additional helpful information that might be of interest to you.
