Understanding Aneurysm-Related Headache Pain: Expert Guidance on Symptoms and CT Scan Follow-Up


Question
what type of pain would a brain aneurism would present.  because the type of pain i'm having is very localized to that one specific area in the back of my head (go up 2 inches from the top of the right ear and then back about 2 inches) in that very same spot, and it's an intermittent pain, and when its there it usually lasts for along time like a pressure, with occasional quick sharp stabbing pains.  also it sometimes hurts into my right ear.

Answer
aneurysms have different kinds of pain, people call them "thunderclap" headaches, all of a sudden, severe, worst ever, sometimes all over head... you can't tell by the type of pain, if one suspects those, then get the imaging tests, an MRI angiogram is a good non-invasive (although expensive) test.
