Unruptured Brain Aneurysm

Posted by badnaples @badnaples, Nov 22, 2021

Hello! I recently found out I have a 4mm ACOM during a CT scan, waiting CT angio appointment, question is....live life normally? OK, to travel (fly), exercise etc. Can't get answers from doc, they say all this will be covered during pre-op which is weeks away and in the meantime causing me anxiety not knowing what I should or should not do. Not sure if I have symptoms, various headaches, mild, dull, various areas of the head, but have those often and for long time, and stuffy nose so assume its sinus. Any help is appreciated, suppose to travel in 48 hours. I read all this about rupturing and frightens me. Is it something that would happen suddenly or gradually from a leak. Help! THank you.

Hi @lisa930 - I moved your post here so you could return to where you were chatting with others such as @smilton @mkoch @srodriguez25 and others about your unruptured brain aneurysms.

How has your recovery gone since your surgery three weeks ago?

@lisalucier thank you! I’m doing well. I have some after effects that will hopefully lessen or go away. Having the Dr up in my brain three times, well actually four bc he went into the left and right sides this past surgery. All within a nine month period was really tough. Thank you for asking and switching me over to the correct group! ❤️🧠
