Unlikely: But further evaluation required with your physician.

Not likely: While the symptoms may be from an aneurysm, a leaking aneurysm would lead to worsening, unrelenting symptoms and eventual stroke or death. Your headaches may be environmental or migranes. See your physician for further work-up.
