A member asked:
Is a brain aneurysm rare or a brain hemorrhage? i am only 19 years old, i do not smoke, i am not over weight. living in fear of this happening to me
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rare, so no worries: A person who has anxiety and has fear of brain aneurysms (without any normal reason to be fearing brain aneurysms) doesn't have an aneurysm problem, but instead has a phobia. A phobia (excessive, irrational fear) can be of one of many kinds, and in this case happens to be of brain aneurysms. The problem is a psychological one, and so are its exam and treatment. It has nothing to do with aneurysms.
