Why?: What prompted fear of aneurysm? Does it run in your family, do you have polycystic kidney disease? Best test is brain blood vessel imaging via MRI or cat scan angios, and top images via arteriogram. Hard to advise you re where to start, but am concerned that your fears may be compromising your daily activities, and counseling maybe helpful.

CTA MRA brain: Cta/mra brain, circle of willis. If you have one, these studies should find it. Need complete neurologic exam plus above studies. Go see neurologist or neurosurgeon.
