Dr. Clarence Grim answered

Specializes in Endocrinology

Brain aneurysm: They can form very quickly if BP high for example. Do they run in your family. If not then one scan should be enough unless you are injured in head. I would recommend you see a Dr who specializes in your type of stress problems and what appears to be an irrotational fear of aneurysms.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
